Don't you have a textbook or google? These do not strike me as questions that you can not answer because you do not understand the principles. Look, it isn't too hard:
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus, first sentence
Fungi are not green, hence they do not contain chlorophyll, making them likely to be... ___
And so on
