1) NCERT Pg. # 7

2)

The correct answer is 4) All the above.

Explanation: Fungi and animals share several characteristics:

A. Heterotrophic nutrition: Both fungi and animals are heterotrophic, meaning they depend on
other organisms for food (fungi through absorption, animals through ingestion).
B. Type of stored food: Both store food in the form of glycogen, which is similar to animals.
C. Presence of chitin: Fungi have chitin in their cell walls, a characteristic also found in the
exoskeletons of arthropods (animals like insects and crustaceans).
