Describe the basic characteristics of two of theingdoms of organisms?

Question

fungi and plants

Answer 1

Fungi
Fungi are multicellular,with a cell wall, organelles including a nucleus, but no chloroplasts. They have no mechanisms for locomotion. Fungi range in size from microscopic to very large ( such as mushrooms). Nutrients are acquired by absorption. For the most part, fungi acquire nutrients from decaying material.
Plantae
Plants are multicellular and most don't move, although gametes of some plants move using cilia or flagella. Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present, and cell walls are present. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis (they all require sunlight).

Answer 2

-Here are some chief characteristics of fungi-

basic structural unit is almost always hypha (a, b)

reproductive propagule almost always spore (c, usually single-celled)

nutrition is heterotrophic and absorptive (they secrete enzymes that break down organic matter, then absorb soluble products)
mostly multicellular

mostly non-motile

rigid cell wall usually containing chitin

indeterminate growth


-Basic Characteristics of Kingdom Plantae-

Multicellular

Eukaryotic

Primarily terrestrial

Well-developed, differentiated tissues

Autotrophs (photosynthesis)

Alternation of generations in the life cycle: a two generation life
cycle that involves sporic meiosis.

Contain carotenoids and both chlorophyll a and b

Store starch in the chloroplasts

Cell wall made of cellulose

Have sex organs with an outer layer of non-reproductive cells which prevent desiccation of developing gametes

Protect the developing embryo from drying out by providing it with water and nutrients from the female reproductive structure.
