What else can I help you with?
In what way are fungi and plants alike?
they are both unicellular.
Are mushrooms vascular?
no they are not non vascular
Why is it that a mushroom cannot make its own food?
Mushrooms are fungi. Fungi and animals are heterotrophic, which means they rely on getting their food from plants and other organisms. So why? Well, just because that's how fungi are, and it's the way they always have been. In terms of how they "eat" they're closer to animals, even though they look more like plants.
How do humans benefit from fungi, and can you explain one way in which they contribute to our well-being?
Humans benefit from fungi in various ways, such as providing food, medicine, and environmental benefits. One way in which fungi contribute to our well-being is through the production of antibiotics. Fungi like Penicillium produce antibiotics that help fight bacterial infections and save lives.
Some microorganisms found in soil can be beneficial. What is one way that they are helpful?
One way that microorganisms in soil are beneficial is by enhancing nutrient availability for plants. Certain bacteria and fungi help decompose organic matter, breaking it down into essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are vital for plant growth. Additionally, some microorganisms form symbiotic relationships with plants, such as mycorrhizal fungi, which improve water and nutrient uptake, promoting healthier plant development.
What is one way that yeast is different than plants?
Yeast is a single celled fungi and a plant is multicellular. Yeast also doesn't have chloroplast. A plant does
How is fungi different then animals and plants?
Fungi is part of the Eukarya domain... Having more than one cell, and having cells with a nucleus. If their size doesn't tell you how much they differ, then consider the fact that Fungi are decomposers, feeding off plant and animal life, and bacteria have uncountable ways of feeding. As an added note, Fungi are stationary. Bacteria can move around.
What did fungi evolve from?
Early fungi were actually aquatic. They evolved from early animals, actually. Fungi are very closely related to animals. Much closer than plants or even protists. Other information: fungi can produce asexually or sexually, they can only absorb nutrients, and they are in no way a plant. Hope it helped!
Do fungi have tissue?
No, fungi do not have tissue in the same way that plants and animals do. Instead, they have a network of tiny filaments called hyphae that make up their body structure. These hyphae work together to form structures like mycelium.
What is one way that fungi are similar to insect?
They are both alive.
Why do fungi grow in the dark?
No, fungi are not plants, they are heterotrophs and belong to a unique group of their own. They get their energy by breaking down decaying organic matter in the soil and will grow in total darkness.
Plants cannot move from one place to another like can?
Plants cannot move from one place to another place in the way that animals can. Plants are rooted to the ground.
