Question

The three domains you learned about in Concept 1.2 can be represented in the tree of life as the three main branches, with three sub branches on the eukaryotic branch being the kingdoms Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia. What if fungi and animals are more closely related to each other than either of these kingdoms is to plants-as recent evidence strongly suggests? Draw a simple branching pattern that symbolizes the proposed relationship between these three eukaryotic kingdoms.

Answer 1

Fungi  are more like animals because they have heterotrophs as opposed to Autotrophs ,  like plants , that make their own food.

What is the relationship between  fungi and animals ?

Fungi have evolved mutualism with numerous insect. Arthopods depends on the fungs for protection from predators and pathogens.

Animal and plant interactions with fungi

In terms of their place in the food chain, fungi and mammals are most similar. Animals and fungi do not generate food like plants do. Therefore, outside food sources provide a source of energy for both mammals and fungus.

In addition, research published in 1998 by experts suggests that fungus descended from mammals 9 million years after plants. This implies a closer relationship between fungi and plants.

Chitin, a substance also present in fungi and animals, is absent from plants. Chitin makes up the cell walls of fungi as a structural element.
