20.) Some charateristics to look for are "what's its leaf shape?" , "does this plant have spores?" , "does it have no leaves?" and "is it a vascular or non-vascular plant?". By naming its charateristics we can infer that it must be a fungus. This means its root system attaches to other plant roots in order to get nutrients for itself.
18.) If we observe the charateristics of the moss we might get an answer. Moss needs water in order to survive since it is the source of nutrients for the moss. The reason why the moss turned green after the rainstorm was because it got the nutrients it needed so it caused the moss to flourish again.
17.) We can use models to compare and contrast plant and fungus cells. By using evidence we can include that both the plant and fungus cells have some common characteristics, however plants are autotrophic, making their own energy, and have cell walls made of cellulose, but fungi are heterotrophic taking in food for energy and have cell walls made of chitin.
