Question: Which of the following distinguishes the organisms in the kingdom Fungi from other eukaryotic organisms?
Answer: Fungi obtain nutrients by absorption.
Hypothesis: organisms from the biological kingdom fungi are distinguishable from other eukaryotes because they obtain nutrients through absorption
Supporting facts: sent1: collecting is similar to absorbing sent2: to gain means to obtain sent3: animals obtain nutrients through the method of consumption sent4: obtain is similar to receive sent5: if two things are both something else, then they are different kinds of that something else sent6: taking in something means acquiring that something sent7: to belong to a group means to be classified in that group sent8: biotic means living sent9: eukaryotes are a kind of thing sent10: to distinguish means to tell the difference between sent11: an animal is a kind of eukaryote sent12: if things can be identified as different because of something then they are distinguishable by that something sent13: to absorb means to capture sent14: fungi are part of the biological kingdom fungi sent15: taking in something means receiving / absorbing / getting something sent16: absorbing is similar to obtaining sent17: a fungus is a kind of eukaryote sent18: plants obtain nutrients through the method of photosynthesis sent19: a fungus is a kind of organism sent20: plants are a kind of eukaryote sent21: to belong to a class means to be a kind of something sent22: take in means absorb sent23: animals are a kind of eukaryote sent24: fungi absorb nutrients from decaying tissue sent25: fungi are sometimes single-celled organisms
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] a fungus is a kind of eukaryote [AND] fungi absorb nutrients from decaying tissue [INFER] int1: fungi are eukaryotes that obtain nutrients by absorption [BECAUSE] plants are a kind of eukaryote [AND] animals are a kind of eukaryote [INFER] int2: plants and animals are both eukaryotes [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] if two things are both something else, then they are different kinds of that something else [INFER] int3: plants and animals are different kinds of eukaryotes [BECAUSE] plants obtain nutrients through the method of photosynthesis [AND] animals obtain nutrients through the method of consumption [INFER] int4: plants and animals use different methods to obtain nutrients [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int4 [INFER] int5: different kinds of eukaryotes use different methods for obtaining nutrients [BECAUSE] if things can be identified as different because of something then they are distinguishable by that something [AND] eukaryotes are a kind of thing [INFER] int6: if eukaryotes can be identified as different because of something then they are distinguishable by that something [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] int6 [INFER] int7: different kinds of eukaryotes are distinguishable by how they obtain nutrients [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: fungi are distinguishable from other eukaryotes because they obtain nutrients by absorption [BECAUSE] fungi are part of the biological kingdom fungi [AND] a fungus is a kind of organism [INFER] int9: fungi are kinds of organisms that are part of the biological kingdom fungi [BECAUSE] int8 [AND] int9 [INFER] int10: organisms from the biological kingdom fungi are distinguishable from other eukaryotes because they obtain nutrients through absorption
