Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The two statements that are true for fungi are:

1.) "They digest food externally."

2.) "They do not take the food into their body."

Fungi are not plants, nor are they algae. Fungi are, in fact, more closely related to animals than plants. They are heterotrophs and do not carry out the process of photosynthesis because they do not contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Unlike animals, fungi do not ingest their food. Fungi release digestive enzymes into their food and digest it externally. They absorb the food molecules that result from the external digestion.
