Did you know mushrooms are more closely related to animals than to plants?

Mushrooms are fungi, which are actually genetically closer to animals than they are to plants. Scientists use a genealogical path known as the Tree of Life to trace the evolution of living organisms, and they have determined that fungi share a common ancestor with animals and are completely branched off from plants.

Fungi and animals have to turn to external sources for their food sources, but plants can produce their own nutrients. Chitin, a complex carbohydrate responsible for cell wall structure, is a molecule that is shared by fungi and animals but is not found in plants.

You Are a Rule Shaker

You generally follow the rules, but every now and then you like to shake things up a bit. You are both a rule maker and a rule breaker. You appreciate rules, but you also think they should be questioned. You think rules generally promote social order, and you're in favor of them - in principle. You also know, though, that rules can become outdated or irrelevant. You are willing to break a rule if you think there is cause to. You maintain flexibility with the rules you set up for yourself and others in your life. You aren't too strict about anything. In your opinion, there is always a middle ground. It's often best just to use your judgment instead of following a particular rule.

Are You a Rule Breaker or a Rule Maker?
