Do you think a Fungus is more like a plant, or more like an animal? Explain two characteristics of fungi that would support your
Nana76 [90]

I think fungus are more like animals. The best reason for this is their mode of nutrition i.e. they are heterotrophic. Just like animals, they can't synthesize their own food that's why they are dependent on other organisms to obtain their food. Apart from this, fungi have chitin just like animals which is not found in plants. Chitin is a polysaccharide which serves the purpose of cell wall in fungi. Just like fungi, animals belonging to arthropoda phylum of animal kingdom too have chitin layer which serves the purpose of exoskeleton on their body.

Greenhouse gases are the main human causes of global warming.They basically act like a warm blanket around the earth and trap heat. Causing the earth to get warmer and temperatures to rise.

The two main greenhouse gases we add to the air are methane and carbon dioxide.

The main source of carbon dioxide is the burning of coal,oil,gas and petrol(fossil fuels)in power stations.

We produce far more carbon dioxide than any other greenhouse gas. And its production has been on the rise since the industrial revolution.

So the burning of fossil fuels resulting in carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming.
