Explanation:

Question 4

Plants are often highly vulnerable to fungal infections. Fungi can cause diseases like rusts, smuts, and blights in plants. These infections can damage plant tissues, reduce photosynthesis, and even lead to plant death. Plants have some defense mechanisms, but compared to the complex immune systems of animals (including humans) and the relatively more protected internal environments of many animals, plants' exposure to the external environment (where fungi often thrive) and their less - complex immune responses make them more susceptible.

One way humans benefit from fungi is in the production of antibiotics. For example, Penicillium fungi are used to produce penicillin. Penicillin is a widely - used antibiotic that can kill or inhibit the growth of many bacteria. It has been crucial in treating bacterial infections and has saved countless lives.
