Fungi such as the mushrooms are neither plants nor animals. They belong in their own separate kingdom, the Fungi.
I will note there is a move in mycological circles to using the terms "fungi" and "fungus" in the same manner as algae--as a functional group not a taxonomic group. This is because the oomycetes and the slime molds were traditionally classified as fungi. However, molecular and biochemical analyses have revealed that they are indeed members of separate kingdoms. (With a considerable amount of evolutionary distance from the Eumycota.)
The property that sets plants apart from animals and fungi is the fact that plants are generally autotrophs. This means that they can produce their own food through a process called photosynthesis whereas animals and fungi have to obtain their food from other organisms.
Fungi feed on the remains of dead animals and plants.
Fungi are responsible for the decomposition of plants and animals.
fungi is niether animal nor plant, it have it's own kingdom called kingdom fungi, previously it was considered as plant because of the presence of cell wall. but the cell wall of fungus isn't made up of cellulose instead it is made up of chitin. so it is not animal or plant.
Animals, plants, and fungi.
The fungi (singular, fungus) once were considered to be plants because they grow out of the soil and have rigid cell walls. Now they are placed independently in their own kingdom of equal rank with the animals and plants and, in fact, are more closely related to animals than to plants. I hope I helped! 😁
fungi & animals
Animals, Plants, Protists, Monerans, Fungi, Bacteria
6. They are: animals, plants, protists, fungi, archaebacteria, and eubacteria.
The 5 Kingdoms are: Fungi, Plants, Animals, Prokaryotes and Protoctistans.
No. Fungi are their own kingdom of organisms separate from plants and animals. Insects are animals.
Fungi feed on the remains of dead animals and plants.
They;re different because they're niether animals, plants, or fungi, and they're eukaryotes
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
animals,plants,fungi
Neither. They are fungi.
Supergroups are a level above kingdom in terms of taxonomic classification. Plants, animals and fungi are all kingdoms in taxonomy.
