Question

Which of the following best explains a characteristic that differentiates fungi from animals?

Fungi can reproduce asexually, while animals cannot.
Fungi are heterotrophs, while animals are not.
Fungal cells are prokaryotic, while animal cells are eukaryotic.
Fungal cells have cell walls, while animal cells do not.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.
Fungi can reproduce asexually while animals cannot.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option). Fungi can reproduce asexually, while animals cannot.

Explanation:

Both fungi and animals are multicellular, eukaryotic, and heterotrophic organisms that depend on other organisms for their food. Fungi reproduce through sexual and asexual reproduction. Animals generally reproduce through sexual reproduction, but some animals also perform sexual reproduction.

The one characteristic that differentiate fungi from other animals is presence of cell wall in fungus cells. Cell walls in fungi are made up of chitin and glucans, while cell walls are absent in animal cells.

Thus, the correct answer is last option.
