Which of the following characteristics do fungi share in common with animals?
Answer Details
Fungi share the characteristic of storing carbohydrates as glycogen with animals. Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and muscles of animals as a source of energy. Similarly, fungi store their carbohydrates in the form of glycogen in their cells. This is in contrast to plants that store their carbohydrates as starch. Although fungi and animals are different in many ways, they share some similarities in their biochemistry and cellular processes.
