Q2: Fungi are closely related to
A: animals
Q3: Heterotrophic
A: Organisms that obtain their nutrients or food from consuming other organisms.
Q4: Unique characteristics of fungi

Q5: why does mycelia have such a large surface area for
absorption?
A: narrow dimensions and extensive branching
Q6: How do fungi reproduce?
A: sexually and asexually by spores
Q7: conidia
A: asexual spores at the tips of hyphae

used to classify animals were
A: 1) presence or absence of different tissue types
2) type of body symmetry
3) presence or absence of a true body cavity
