what is the evolutionary history between fungi and plants?
483585
Early evolution Evidence from DNA analysis suggests that all fungi are descended from one common ancestor, at least 600 million years ago. It is probable that these earliest fungi lived in water, and had flagella. Fungi moved to land at about the same time as plants, about 460 million years ago, at least.

Fungi is a very wide group which includes molds, mushrooms, yeasts, etc. most of the organisms are saprophytic and some lives in a symbiotic relationship with other organism. example include Mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and fungi.

Fungi represent life that is composed of eukaryotic cells, but the fungal cell type is distinct from both plants and animals.

Fungi are genetically most closely related to: Animals.

Yeast and Molds both belong to the kingdom fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms, but yeast is single-celled organisms, which reproduce asexually mainly by binary fission or budding, whereas Molds are multicellular reproduce sexually or asexually.

Mycorrhizae are symbiotic relationships that form between fungi and plants. The fungi colonize the root system of a host plant, providing increased water and nutrient absorption capabilities while the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates formed from photosynthesis.

In mutualism, both organisms benefit from the relationship. Two common mutualistic relationships involving fungi are mycorrhiza and lichen. A mycorrhiza is a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and a plant. The fungus grows in or on the plant roots.

Explanation; -Fungi is the kingdom that includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms.

Yeast Is a One-Celled Fungal Organism Yeast are in the fungal kingdom (along with mushrooms) rather than in the plant or animal kingdom. They are a step up the complexity ladder from bacteria in that they have a true nucleus. Like many plants (and unlike many bacteria), they don't have a means of propulsion.

Fungi. Fungi are a group of living organisms which are classified in their own kingdom. This means they are not animals, plants, or bacteria. Unlike bacteria, which have simple prokaryotic cells, fungi have complex eukaryotic cells like animals and plants.

Both plants and fungi are in the Eukarya domain, meaning they are made of eukaryotic cells that have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Another similarity is that they both evolved from protists. Plants, which are capable of photosynthesis, evolved from plant-like protists.

It became very difficult to group some living things into one or the other, so early in the past century the two kingdoms were expanded into five kingdoms: Protista (the single-celled eukaryotes); Fungi (fungus and related organisms); Plantae (the plants); Animalia (the animals); Monera (the prokaryotes).

['Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.', 'They may be unicellular or filamentous.', 'They reproduce by means of spores.', 'Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.', 'Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.']

Ascomycota is a phylum of the kingdom Fungi that, together with the Basidiomycota, forms the subkingdom Dikarya. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. It is the largest phylum of Fungi, with over 64,000 species.

Fungi are Friends, Not Foes. How fungi join forces with plants to feed our forests. Though fungi are often associated with decay, they actually play a vital role in providing forests with the nutrients they need to prosper.

The Kingdom Fungi Today, fungi are no longer classified as plants. ... For example, the cell walls of fungi are made of chitin, not cellulose. Also, fungi absorb nutrients from other organisms, whereas plants make their own food. These are just a few of the reasons fungi are now placed in their own kingdom.

Both the animals and fungi has heterotrophic mode of nutrition. The animals are the consumers of the ecosystem instead the fungi have wide range of nutrition from the parasites to the saprophytes mode. Animals have multicellular organization but fungi need not always be multicellular may be unicellular also.
