Describe Characteristic Features Fungi Unicellular Multicellular Nucleus Membrane

Fungi are unicellular or multicellular with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, a chitin cell wall, no chloroplasts, growth via hyphae, and saprophytic or parasitic feeding, storing food as glycogen.

I funghi sono unicellulari o pluricellulari con nucleo e organelli legati alla membrana, parete cellulare di chitina, senza cloroplasti, crescita tramite ife e alimentazione saprofitica o parassitaria, immagazzinando cibo come glicogeno.
