Fungi are different from humans in several basic ways. First, fungi do not ingest their food as humans do; rather, they grow into their food. Humans ingest food, secrete enzymes to degrade it, and absorb the released nutrients and simpler compounds. Fungal hyphae grow into a potential food source, release enzymes, and then absorb the relaeased nutrients. Also, fungal cells have a wall of chitin while human cells lack a wall of any sort. Humans are unable to synthesize lysine, but fungi are capable of doing so. Humans are cabable of movement, while most fungi are not. (Chytrids are capable of moving via a motile spore.)
What else can I help you with?
Why is it difficult to develop a chemical that kills fungi but does not harm humans?
It is difficult to develop a chemical that kills fungi but not harm humans because fungi and humans are both eukaryotic organisms, making it challenging to find targets unique to fungi. Additionally, the similarities in cellular structures and processes between fungi and humans also make it hard to find chemicals that selectively target fungal cells over human cells. Furthermore, the potential for off-target effects and toxicity in humans adds complexity to developing such a selective chemical.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
Is cryptosporidium a bacteria?
Cryptosporidium is not a bacteria; it is a protozoan parasite. It can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals through contaminated food or water sources.
What kingdom of organisms is related to fungi?
Animals
How do animals plants and fungi glow artificially?
Humans create them!
What organisms are related?
The fungi is related to the mushroom.
What eats fungi?
Fungi are in forms of foods we eat. Mushrooms are fungi, and humans eat mushrooms, so humans eat fungi.
Are algae and fungi related?
No, they are not.
How does fungi affect humans?
Fungi is a form of bacteria, that is actually sometimes good for your digestive tract.
How are organisms in the Fungi kingdom useful to humans?
fungi is very valuable as a source of vitamins and antibiotics

How are humans related to pathogen?
Pathogens are any organisms that can cause disease in humans; this includes a variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi and proteinaceous infectious material (such as prions). By definition, a human becomes infected with a pathogen through exposure and potentially develops disease related to that infection with a pathogen.
What is more closely related to a human sea star a mollusc or a mushroom?
I have a sea star, a mollusc, and a mushroom. The sea star is most closely related to a human.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
Why weren't pathogenic fungi used in this exercise?
There is no description of the exercise in which you are referring to. Pathogenic fungi are fungi that cause disease in humans and other organisms.
What humans eat fungi in Antarctica?
Any fungi in Antarctica must be classified as a micro-organism, because the continent is so inhospitable to growing -- anything. No humans on Antarctica -- all temporary workers or scientists -- eat these fungi.
Can fungi live on humans?
yes such as atheletes foot
