Fungi and animals are similar in that they are both heterotrophs, which means they cannot produce their own food. Fungi obtain their nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their environment, while animals consume other organisms to obtain their nutrients. In terms of food production, fungi can be used to produce certain types of food, such as mushrooms and yeast, which are used in baking and brewing. However, animals are not typically used in food production in the same way that fungi are. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Statement I is true, and statement II is false.
