The sun is where all things get their food but it isn't as simple as that. Plants use sunlight to make food for themselves using carbon dioxide and water. Others like animals have to base their diet on those plants. Even those animals that eat only meat, eat animals that eat plants. Cats are carnivores and only eat meat but those meat animals eat plants. The same is true of fungi except they use plants that are already dead and break them down.

Why are Fungi like plants and animals?

Fungi are like plants because they don't move like plants. Because of this early scientists have classified fungi into same category as plants. Fungi are like animals because they are heterotrophic. They cannot produce their own food. One plant that moves like an animal is the TickleMe Plant. The leaves of the TickleMe Plant fold up and the branches droop when Tickled and it can be grown as a pet indoors.


What is the main difference between fungi animals and plants?

The main difference between fungi, animals, and plants lies in their cellular structure and nutrition methods. Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that absorb nutrients through external digestion, while plants are autotrophic, using photosynthesis to produce their own food. Animals are also heterotrophic but ingest food internally. Additionally, fungi have cell walls made of chitin, whereas plants have cell walls made of cellulose, and animals lack cell walls entirely.


Why do you need more plants than animals in the food pyramid?

Other than fungi, plants don't eat other plants so you need animals in the food chain. This includes herbivores to eat the plants. Carnivores to eat the herbivores. Omnivores eat both plants and animals.


Why is fungi not a animal?

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). Animals do not have a cell wall at all. As well, animals are motile whereas most fungi are not (chytrids produce a motile spore). Animals ingest their food while fungi grow into their food. Fungi can produce lysine, and animals cannot.
