Bacteria are primitive unicellular organisms. Fungi are more complex, evolved, multicellular organisms. Option A). Fungi are eukaryotes, while bacteria are prokaryotes.

What are the characteristics of fungi?

Fungi is a group composed of eukaryotic organisms, among which we can find several species. They are multicellular organisms, and their cells have organelles, nucleus, cell membrane, and wall.

Let us review some common characteristics,

  • They are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they take energy and nutrients from other organisms. They do not produce it.

  • Their cell wall is composed of chitin which helps to avoid dehydration.

  • They reproduce either sёxually or asёxually. They produce spores in special structures known as asks.

  • Their structure is complex and composed of the mycelium and the fructiferous body.

Fungi are important to the ecosystem because they are one of the principal organic matter decomposers. But they are also significant for different human uses.

What are the characteristics of bacteria?

The bacteria domain is composed of a wide group of unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms with a simple structure and sized between 1 to 10 micrometers.

These organisms lack a nucleus, nuclear membrane, and organelles. They only present plasmids and ribosomes. They have a cell membrane and a cell wall that protects the cell. Some of them can also present a capsule.

They reproduce asexually and are either autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Options,

A) Fungi are eukaryotes, while bacteria are prokaryotes. TRUE

B) Bacteria are heterotrophs, while fungi are autotrophs. FALSE. Bacteria can be both, while fungi is heterotroph.

C) Bacteria have gametangia, while fungi do not. FALSE. Bacteria reproduces asexually.

D) Fungi have cell walls, while bacteria do not. FALSE. Bothe of them have cell walls.

The correct option is A). Fungi are eukaryotes, while bacteria are prokaryotes.
