They basically all are living creatures than follow the rules that allow something to be considered living (getting energy, using energy, reacting to change, etc.)
its impossible


they were classified by kingdoms because they don't have any similar characteristics
is this a homework question?

The fungus spreads itself over a large area by growing hyphae through the food source and collecting nourishment. The hyphae are long linked cells that are so fine they are bundled in threads called mycelium. The mycelium are large enough to be visible.

How can fungi cause respiratory-tract infections?

Fungi can cause respiratory tract infections by being inhaled, and then the spores find themselves in a warm-moist environment, and start to grow. The dangerous part of most fungal infections is actually the body's immune response. Yes, the fungi can kill you, but the body's own deployment of cytokines (devastating chemicals to most bacteria, but not as effective on fungi), also harm your body tissue at high concentration and long term exposure. In the end, it is possible to kill you faster than the fungi. Many times in respiratory-tract infections, a granuloma is formed (the fungi is surrounded by tissue which prevents fungal spread). This can reduce lung capacity, flexibility, and cause many of the symptoms. There are many anti-fungals that are now available for treating these infections.How can fungi cause respiratory-tract infections?

Because of the decomposing material surrounding them. It's not light. Fungi aren't plants. They do NOT carry out photosynthesis. In fact, they're in a different KINGDOM for a reason. ^^ Trees die, fungi feed on it, they thrive. Simple cycle. They're decomposers...How do fungi survive in the forest?
They either live off of the detritus - dead organic matter, or they can live off of the plants as a parasite. They are pretty resourceful.
