What are characteristics Fungi?

Answer 1

Fungi are eukaryotes, and as such can be more difficult to kill when causing sickness in humans or animals. The reproduce by spores, and can be asexual or sexual, they are usually non-motile, and like plants have alteration of generations.

Answer 2

1. The Fungi are eukaryotes, which may exist in nature as either single or multi-celled organisms or in both at different points in the life cycle.

2. Fungi are avascular i.e., no specialized respiratory, digestive or transport systems beyond the hyphae themselves.

3.Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae. A connected mass of hyphae is a mycelium.

4. Fungi have a vegetative body called a thallus, composed of hyphae.

5. Motile Fungi contain Flagella, which is either whiplash or tinsel type.

6. The walls of hyphae are often reinforced with chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl glucosamine and Cellulose

7. Fungi have small nuclei with very little repetitive DNA

8. Fungi are never autotrophs, and are usually found either as opportunistic saprophytes (living on dead organic matter) or in some parasitic or symbiotic relationship with plants or other autotrophs.

9. Food reserves stores as glycogen (like animals), not starch (like plants).

10. Spores may be either sexual or asexual. Fungi reproduce by means of spores, budding, or fragmentation.

Answer 3

Fungi are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption. They have cell walls made of chitin and reproduce both sexually and asexually. Fungi play important ecological roles as decomposers and form symbiotic relationships with other organisms.
