Fungi can be further classified based on a number of characteristics. These include the size and shape of spores or fruiting structures, biochemical and physiological traits, and reproductive structures.

∙ 11y agoThe first, and maybe more relevant difference, is that fungi lack a autotrophic metabolism (fungi does not photosynthetize), fungi are heterotrophic.
Second, fungal cell walls are made of, primarily, a molecule called chitin, while plant cell walls are made of cellulose.

Name three main groups within the kingdom protista. What characteristics distinguish each group from the other two?
Algae-plant like Fungi- slime mole and water mold Protozoa-1st animal like .... Classified by means of locomotion!
What two organisms share a mutualistic partnership in the formation of mycorrhizae?
plant and fungi
What do plant and fungi always 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.
What is a plant that consist of both fungi and algae?
Definitionally speaking, if something is a plant, it cannot have a fungal component since fungi are not plants. However, a lichen is often considered by laymen to be a plant (even though it is actually a symbiotic relationship of two or more organisms). A lichen is the most common example of algae and fungi working together.
Explain how fungi are classified into groups?
True fungi are placed in the Kingdom Fungi, which is divded up into a few phyla: Dikaryomycota, Glomeromycota, Zygomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, and Chytridiomycota. The phylum Dikariomycota is divided up into two subphyla, the Ascomycotina and the Basidiomycotina. All the phyla have further divisions, which are in flux as our understanding of evolutionary relationships, and thus taxonomy, increases.
Does the presence of nuclei in fungi as well as its ability to reproduce asexually distinguish from bacteria?

Two reasons for why can't the Euglena be considered a plant cell?
Euglena can not be considered a plant cell because it has animal and plant characteristics.
