Fungi were first classified as plants. However they differ in that they are heterotrophs while plants are photoautotrophs. Some characterizes that plants and fungi share are: multicellular and eukaryotic organisms, have cell wall, produce spores and are non-motile.
Although fundamentally different, plant and fungi do share certain characteristics, which made it confusing at first to distinguish between the two.
Plants and fungi both have cell walls. However, they are of different substances. Plant cell walls are made from cellulose, whereas fungi cell walls are made from chitin.
Plants and fungi are both sessile. This means that both plants and fungi are stuck to the ground and cannot freely move.
They are both heterotrophes meaning they do not produce energy but instead absorb material and get their nutrients from elsewhere
they both grow on old rotten logs, organisms, and animals that are starting to break down.
they are both heterotrophs
cell wall, stuck to ground
plants don't grow everywhere
they are both eukaryontes
They usually have a cell wall.
Distinguishing characters of fungi are: 1.It is a plant like microscopic multicellular organism living on a nutrient substrate. 2.They are achlorophyllous,heterotrophic thallophytes. 3.Every fungi contains mass of interwoven hyphae is called mycelium. 4.The mycelium may be unicellular or multicellular. 5.Fungi have definie cell wall made up of chitin. 6They have reserved food material in the form of glycogen or oil-droplets 7.They reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation,asexually by spores and sexually by gamates.
prokaryotes (which are bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes (which are animals, plants, protists, and fungi). hope this helps
They break up things, all bacteria doesn't but some does.yea they do lol
Fungi lack chloroplasts, which means they are unable to undergo photosynthesis as plants are. This means that while plants are typically autotrophs (producers), fungi are heterotrophs (consumers). Fungi have a cell wall of chitin instead of the cellulose that plants make. Fungi store energy as glycogen; plants store energy as starch. Fungi have a single, posteriorly oriented flagellum while plants have multiple flagella that are anteriorly oriented.
Those are two of many characteristics that distinguish fungi from bacteria.
Green and usually worm like.Sometimes mold like.
They usually have a cell wall.
they have different cell membrane. Ms. Amanda
Fungi can be further classified based on a number of characteristics. These include the size and shape of spores or fruiting structures, biochemical and physiological traits, and reproductive structures.
Fungi were initially classified in the kingdom Plantae due to their superficial similarities, such as non-motile growth and cell wall composition. However, they were later reclassified into their own kingdom, Fungi, based on genetic and molecular similarities that distinguish them from plants. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, unlike plants which are autotrophic.

Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms. Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells. Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria. So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.
Some scientists classify fungi as plants because they share certain characteristics like cell walls and non-motility. Other scientists classify fungi as animals due to their heterotrophic nature, similar to animals, and their ability to store energy as glycogen, like animals do. Ultimately, fungi are placed in their own kingdom, separate from plants and animals, due to their unique characteristics.
no
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
