Fungal cell walls are composed of chitin while the cell walls of plants are composed of cellulose. (The cell walls of algae are quite variable and it depends on the specific taxonomic group.) Plants and algae are often autotrophs, having a chloroplast and capable of undergoing photosynthesis. Fungi lack chloroplasts and rely on the degradation of organic material to supply the energy needed for their metabolism.

Why do algae and fungi have their own kingdoms?

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.

Will algae turn to fungi if eaten while stomach has an over growth of candida?

No, algae will not turn into fungi if eaten, even if the stomach has an overgrowth of candida. Algae and fungi are different organisms with distinct characteristics and biological pathways. The overgrowth of candida in the stomach is a separate issue that would need to be addressed through appropriate medical or dietary interventions.
