Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
Is fungy a tipe of plant?
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.
Mycorrhizae are fungi that cooperate with plants Which interaction best fits the known traits of fungi and 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.
Is a fungi considered a plant or an animal?
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.
Which fungal features supports the phylogenetic conclusion that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants?
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.
What is related to fungi?
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.
Are fungi plants or animals?
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.
The five kingdoms of life?
The 5 Kingdoms are: Fungi, Plants, Animals, Prokaryotes and Protoctistans.
Is fungi an insect?
No. Fungi are their own kingdom of organisms separate from plants and animals. Insects are animals.
Plants and fungi that thrive on dead tissues of plants and 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.
Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
Where do fungi get their food from?
They get their food from animals and plants
