Answer:

Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.

They may be unicellular or filamentous.

Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.

Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.

Fungi store their food in the form of starch.

Biosynthesis of chitin occurs in fungi.

The nuclei of the fungi are very small.

The fungi have no embryonic stage. They develop from the spores.
