Why are fungus like protists not members of the kingdom fungi?

plants contain cellulose in their cell wall while fungi contains chitin as a major component of its cell wall.Besides fungi are absorptive heterotrophs while plants are photosynthetic autotrophs.fungi lacks centrioles and contains chitin in its cell wall(as described earlier) but certain protists have centrioles and produce cellulose in their cell wall.some protists also contain some pigments like Chl.a Chl.b caroteins etc while fungi does not.Due to these reasons Fungi has separate kingdom.


Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?

Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
