Fungal cells have a cell wall, like the plant cells. But the fungal wall is made of chitin, whereas, plant cell wall is made of cellulose.
Plant cells also have chloroplasts and are green. Fungal cells do not have chloroplasts.

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.
To which group of plants do mushrooms toadstools and molds belong?
none of these are plants, they are all fungi
Do sperm swim to the eggs on fungi plants?
Fungi plants have no sperm cells, so no
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'.
What are the main difference between plants and fungi?
The presence or absence of chlorophyll and the photosynthesis process it supports. Plants have it; fungi don't.
What are protists that don't resemble plants or fungi biologically called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
What kingdom does fungi resemble?
Fungi resemble fungi; they are their own kingdom.
Protists that do not resemble plants animals or fungi biologically called?
slime molds
How are the different types of protist classified?
Protists are either unicellular of multicellular organisms. Different types of protists are classified by the characteristics that resemble those of fungi, plants, and animals.
What is one similarity between fungi and plants?
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & 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.
What are the results of meiosis in plants and fungi?
The results of meiosis in plants and fungi is the formation of genes
Are plants and fungi the same?
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
