fungi & animals
No, fungus is not a type of plant. Fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that are distinct from plants, animals, and bacteria. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants.
Mutualism best fits the know traits of fungi and plants. The fungi provides soil nutrients to the plant and the plant provides food to the fungi.
There are three domains of life, Prokarya, Eukarya and Archaea. Plants, animals and fungi all fall under Eukarya (Cells with nuclear envelopes and membranes). Bacteria are prokaryotic, and do not have a nucleus or nuclear membrane. Fungi are more closely related to animals than they are to plants (despite physical appearances). Fungi and Animals both evolved from a choanoflagellate ancestor (a protist), while plants evolved from another eukaryotic protist lineage (the green algae lineage). Fungi are neither plants, nor animals, but they are more closely related to animals than plants. They form their own kingdom, under the domain Eukarya.
Features like chitin in cell walls, glycogen as a storage polysaccharide, and the presence of ergosterol in cell membranes support the phylogenetic conclusion that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. Additionally, fungi and animals share similar modes of nutrition, such as absorption.
Fungi are organisms that belong to their own kingdom, separate from plants, animals, and bacteria. They play important roles in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and forming symbiotic relationships with plants. Some common examples of fungi include mushrooms, yeast, and molds.
The 5 Kingdoms are: Fungi, Plants, Animals, Prokaryotes and Protoctistans.
Fungi are neither plants nor animals. They belong to their own separate kingdom called Fungi. While they share some similarities with plants in terms of cell structure and reproduction, they obtain nutrients through absorption like animals do.
No. Fungi are their own kingdom of organisms separate from plants and animals. Insects are animals.
The Eumycota are fungi that thrive on the dead tissues of plants and animals. They get their nutrients from decomposed matter and store them as energy.
They get their food from animals and plants
