In differentiating fungi from plants and animals, what happens? 3
Animals are heterotrophic by ingestion while fungi are heterotrophic by absorption.
Plants have cell walls of cellulose; fungi have cell walls of chitin.
Fungal spores develop into haploid hyphae without embryo development; plants have embryo development.
The difference between septate hyphae and nonseptate hyphae is determined by whether
determined by whether the hyphae have cross walls or lack cross walls.
Which of the following traits are found in both fungi and animals?
