What two characteristics do fungi lack that forced them to become decomposers

1 answer:

8 0

Fungi are decomposers, they obtain their food from dead organic matters. Fungi obtain their nutrient this way because they can not produce their own food. To produce their own food they need chloroplast in their cells to obtain energy from the sun. And they also need the ability to fix nitrogen which they will incorporate into the food they produce. Because they lack the ability to do this thing, they have to adapt to eating dead materials. <span />

On your first research mission you make an amazing discovery by finding a new species living in the hostile environment of the s

Tomtit [17]

The best classification for this new species is Animalia.

According to the six kingdom classification given by Carl Woese, all organisms are divided into 6 kingdoms.

1) Archaebacteria

2) Eubacteria

3) Protista

4) Fungi

5) Plantae

6) Animalia

As the newly discovered species is a multicellular (made up of more than one cell) organism.

Then it can only belong to Kingdom Fungi, Plantae and Animalia as the rest of the kingdoms like Archaebacteria, Eubacteria and Protista consist of unicellular organisms that are made up of only one type of cell.

Now this species is not autotrophic ( i.e. an organism that can get its own nutrition by the use of light, water, carbon dioxide, or other substances).

It means it is heterotrophic which means it can't get nutrition on its own.

Out of the Fungi, Plantae and Animalia , only fungi and Animalia kingdoms consist of heterotrophic organisms.

Now this species also does not contain chitin which is an important characteristics of Fungi.

So only option left is Animalia.

Hence, the best classification for this new species is Animalia.
