How are fungi like plants?
Fungi lack chlorophyll which means they can't photosynthesize, and the composition of fungal cell walls are quite different from those of plants.
How are the cells of fungi similar to cells in plants?
Both have cell walls.
How are plant and fungi similar?
Fungi and plants are similar in that they both require carbon and energy. Plants meet this need through carbon dioxide and light, while Fungi absorb and metabolize a variety of carbohydrates and insoluble carbohydrates.
How are Fungi similar than plants?
they both grow from the ground....... please finish this answer if you can!!!!!
How are the cells of fungi similar to the cells of plants?
because have the same organism an animalia
What are the physical features of the fungi kingdom?
Fungi are Eukaryotic, non-vascular organisms. They are immobile and reproduce by means of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Fungi cell wall is similar in structure to that of plants but they are composed of chitin. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms.
What is one similarity between fungi and plants?
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
Why were fungi considered as plants?
On a macro level, fungi look a lot like plants. Scientists felt either that fungi were simple plants without chloroplasts, or had shed these parts to become mostly parasitic. They have cell walls, and outside of some slime molds, are not mobile. Their mycellium (the fuzzy white lines that are the 'real' fungus) are outwardly similar to a simple root system. They also 'fruited' with mushrooms of some form on most of the higher species. The DNA and proteins told a very different story! On a genetic level, animals and plants are very similar, so similar that it's now believed the ancestor of fungi should be on the same fork of the 'tree of life'.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?

Downy mildews and water molds are similar to fungi in that they both?
Downy mildews and water molds are similar to fungi in that they both resemble fungi. They can also cause diseases similar to fungi.
What do fungi have in common with plants?
Fungi are not plants.
How do fungi differ from plants?
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.
