Students have asked these similar questions
A student is using a Venn Diagram to communicate understanding of the similarities and differences between fungi and animals. The student placed key characteristics in each circle and classmates are asked to review the work.
Qurdtion options:
“You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.
“You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic.”
“You have all of the information correct.”
“All animals only reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.”
Fungi may be unicellular, multicellular, non-photosynthetic, and saprophytic (getting
nourishment from decaying matter).
True
False
In the following diagram of a black bread mold (Rhizopus stolonifer), identify the following structures of a multicellular fungus: mycelium, rhizoids, stolon, sporangium, sporangiophore, sporangiospores.
After that, give a brief description/function of each structure:
1. Hypha/Mycelium
2. Rhizoid
3. Stolon
4. Sporangium
5. Spores
