How are Plantae different from fungi?
Plantae are photosynthetic while Fungi are heterotrophic .Plants have cellulose while Fungi have chitin .
Are plants and fungi the same?
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
Mycorrhizae are fungi that cooperate with plants Which interaction best fits the known traits of fungi and plants?
Mutualism best fits the know traits of fungi and plants. The fungi provides soil nutrients to the plant and the plant provides food to the fungi.
What is the major difference between fungi and plants?
There are many differences between plants and fungi, however, there are several major differences:Plants obtain nutrients by photosynthesis (carnivorous plants are an exception), but fungi do so both by photosynthesis (though not all fungi photosynthesize) and by decompositionPlants and Fungi have different cell makeupPlants reproduce from seeds, while fungi reproduce from sporesPlants grow significantly larger than fungi (the largest plant in the world is Populous tremuloides, the quaking aspen, which over .4 km2, and weigh 6000 metric tons; the largest fungus in the world is Armillaria solidipes, which would be considered larger, but actually forms colonies)
Which level of taxonomy is used instead od phylum for plants and fungi?
division
Why is fungi different fron plants?
Unlike plants fungi are not primary producers. Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they feed on other life forms.
How are Plantae different from fungi?
Plantae are photosynthetic while Fungi are heterotrophic .Plants have cellulose while Fungi have chitin .
In which ways are fungi different from plants?
Some Fungi can be multicellular and others can be unicellular. Their cell walls are chitin and fungi are also heterotrophs. Plants are only multicellular. Their cell walls are of cellulose and plants are autotrophs.
What do plants and fungi have?
Plants and fungi are very different organisms in the world. These two organisms do however share the fact that they always have a cell wall.
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.
Why do fungi not belong to plants?
They are not producers and lack chlorophyll. They can not make their own food, though nether can some parasitic plants. Fungi have different cell walls than plants. Plants use cellulose to construct cells walls while fungi use chitin.
Why do scientists not consider plants to be fungi?
Plants are made out of cells with cell walls constructed of cellulose, the fiberous pieces in plants. Fungi, in contrast, have cells walls constructed of chitin. Fungi are also heterotrophs, obtaining nutrients from other living organisms. Plants are autotrophs, creating nutrients from photosynthesis. Fungi don't have leaves. Plants do. In general, fungi are fundamentally different than plants. For that reason, scientists categorize them differently.
What animal kingdom are fungi animal and plants all in?
No, Fungi is a kingdom by itself in the domain Eukarya. They are nothing like plants because they are heterotrophic whereas plants are autotrophic plus plants produce with seeds while fungi reproduce using spores
Name five different types of plants found in a rainforest?
The different types of plants found in a rainforest are epiphytes, lianas, fungi, and buttresses. Lianas are thick woody vine plants and fungi are things like mushrooms, molds, and mildews.
Why are fungi in different group to plants?
Fungi and plants are different in several ways. Plants are able to photosynthesize (with a few exceptions), have a cell wall of cellulose, have a MLS flaglellar system with multiple flagella, and have vascular tissue. Fungi are not able to photosynthesize, have a cell wall of chitin, have a single posterior flagellum, and do not have vascular tissue. Fungi are much better at exploring the soil for water and nutrients than plants (which is why most plants have a symbiosis with fungi).
What characteristics make Fungi different than plants?
they have different cell membrane. Ms. Amanda
Although they are from two different kingdoms plants and fungi always have?
Cell walls
