Question

classify the characteristics by whether they describe plants only fungi only or both plants and fungi

Answer 1

Answer:

• Plants and fungi have cell walls.
• Plants are autotrophs.
• Fungi are heterotrophic.
• Plants can produce seeds.
• Fungi are constituted by septate hyphae.
• Plants have rhizomes.

Explanation:

Plants and fungi represent two different sets of living things. These two sets have several similarities (so much so that for a long time, fungi were classified in the kingdom of plnatas), but they also have many differences.

Both plants and fungi are multicellular beings that have cell walls in their cells.

Plants, in turn, are autotrophic beings, because they are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis. They are also capable of producing seeds and some have rhizomes (a type of stem).

Fungi are heterotrophic (they do not produce their own food), they are not capable of producing seeds (they produce spores), they are constituted of septate hyphae and they do not have any type of stem.

Answer 2

Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. Fungi are heterotrophic: they use complex organic compounds as sources of energy and carbon, not photosynthesis. The majority of fungi produce spores, which are defined as haploid cells that can undergo mitosis to form multicellular, haploid individuals.
