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.

Why is fungi different fron plants?
Unlike plants fungi are not primary producers. Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they feed on other life forms.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
What is the difference between fungi and plantae?
The list of the differences between fungi and plantae is extremely long... * Plants are Photosynthesizers, Fungi are decomposers * Plants and Fungi have completely different cell makeup * Plants come from seeds, Fungi don't The list goes on and on... It seems that the only reason that anyone would even think of classifying them under the same Kingdom name, is that they are both stationary, and cannot go find their own food.
