Are plants and fungi the same?
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
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.
What are the organisms that fed on plants?
Herbivore eat plants, fungi exclusively. Omnivore eat plants and/or fungi and meat.
