They look more like a fungus than a plant
Is fungus differentiated from plants? Honest question, not a smartass one.
The four kingdoms of eukaryotes are:
- Animals
- Plants
- Fungi
- Protists
So, taxonomically, plants are as different from fungi as they are from animals.
Above that is the domains of life:
- Eukaryotes (all of the above)
- Bacteria
- Archaea
Then above that:
- Cellular life (all of the above)
- Viruses
- Viroids
- Obelisks (Potentially. Just announced last month.)
Wild. Thanks for the terminology. I'm about to go down a Google rabbit hole now.
Got any links on obelisks? Can't find anything other than articles on Egyptian sandstone monuments
Bloody hell, I knew something was up!
Must go see the doc.
is he.. ..is he inside of me too?
And then you got yer prions, which are just self-replicating proteins, and not considered living, but worth mentioning because they kinda act like it.
They don't self-replicate. They interact with well-folded versions of the protein. Causing them to unfold and aggregate into plaques.
yeah, so they are similar to viruses in that they cant self-replicate because they need something very specific to attach onto to replicate.
Yes - they are completely different.
I hope to god they at least are still considered flora?
They are not, mushrooms are more closely related to animals
So that's why they scream and beg for their lives while I'm cooking.
Yes that's what animals and mushrooms have in common.
This is the reality, you're making them suffer. You monster
Which is a fact that for some reason I will never be fully okay with.
