need asap classify the characteristics by whether they describe plants only, fungi only, or both plants and fungi. characteristics -may produce seeds -are heterotrophic -may have aseptate hyphae -can absorb nutrients from soil -may have rhizomes -can photosynthesize -have cell walls

may produce seeds - plants only

are heterotrophic - fungi only

may have aseptate hyphae - fungi only

can absorb nutrients from soil - plants only

may have rhizomes - plants only

can photosynthesize - plants only

have cell walls - both plants and fungi

Explanation:

Fungi and plants are two distinct groups of eukaryotic organisms. They possess different structures and characteristics and also have one or few in common. The characteristics in the question will be used to explain which organisms between fungi and plants it belongs to:

- Some plants reproduce sexually by fusion of their gametes. Production of seeds is a unique process that only plants have. Plants are the only organisms that propagate via seeds. Fungi do not produce seeds.

- Heterotrophs are organisms that are incapable of producing their own food, hence, they rely on other organisms for food source. This is a characteristics of fungi only because plants are autotophic organisms and hence can synthesize their own food via the process of photosynthesis.

- Hyphae is a long filamentous structure that collectively forms the mycelium in Fungi. It can be septate (have walls) or aseptate (without walls). It is unique to only Fungi species and plants do not possess this feature.

- Plants absorb water and nutrients from the soil via their roots. Fungi cannot absorb directly from the soil. They absorb from Plant and animal matter around them.

- Rhizomes are horizontal underground stems that forms roots and shoots from its node. It is a feature of some plants like onions, ginger etc. Fungi do not have or produce Rhizomes.

- Photosynthesis is the process whereby food is synthesized using energy from the sun. It is unique to autotrophic organisms like plants, that possess pigments like Chlorophyll which they use to trap light energy from the sun. Fungi is an heterotroph and hence cannot photosynthesize.

- Fungi and plants both have cell walls in their cells. The cell walls of fungi and plants are made up of chitin and cellulose respectively. Hence, cell wall is a feature of both organisms.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
