Expert Solution

1.) Stomata are the small openings or pores present on the outer layer- epidermis of a plant tissue like leaves. Structurally stomata are surrounded by 2 guard cells which are bean shaped and subsidary cells. Stomata are important to plants because they help in transpiration and gaseous exchange in the plants. Stomata takes up CO2 from the environment by these small pores and the Oxygen they make by the process of respiration is also exits by these openings. The main function is transpiration, the water escapes by the process of transpiration via these small pores.

2.) Fungi are heteroptrophic(Takes up nutrients from other sources) or saprotrophic(Takes up nutrients from dead material). Fungi are more related to animals than plants because they can not make their own food rather they use other methods for that. Also fungi do not have chloroplast and do not photosynthesize like plants so that is another similarity between animals and fungi.
