Yeast cells reproduce sexually. They are members of Ascomycota in Kingdom Fungi. They produce ascospores which classify them as Fungi.
Classified as sac fungi because their spores formed in an ascus.
The reproductive structures within the Ascomycota (sac fungi) are called Ascus, which contain ascospores (unto 8 per Ascus). these are used to either asexual or sexual reproduction

The fungi called slime molds do and some other fungi do in certain stages of their life/reproductive cycle. But no, most fungi like other organisms have normal sized cells with only one nuclius.
They are similar in quite a few ways. As fungi, yeast are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrition by secreting enzymes into the environment and absorbing the byproducts. As well, they synthesize lysine using the AAA pathway. If the yeast belongs to Ascomycotina, then it will produce ascospores in asci. If it is in the Basidiomycotina, then it will produce basidiospores on basidia. Most yeasts, however, just bud or divide by fission to reproduce. Many yeast have the ability to form hyphae; thus, they are considered dimorphic.
Bacteria are streaked for isolation because they are UNICELLULAR and individual cells can be separated through streaking (creating colonies that arise from one single bacterial cell). Molds are MULTIcelluar and cannot be isolated; the cells need each other to form a mold. Single celled/unicellular fungi are called yeasts.
Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone. Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone.
For one, on a microscopic level, plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplast. Animal, protists, fungi, and bacteria cells do not.

No, there are many other species of fungi that do not have bodies of filaments (called hyphae). They call into the phyla of Chytridiomycota and Neocallimastigomycota.
In biological terms, fungi form a kingdom. The group of organisms we call fungi, includes yeasts and molds as well as mushrooms. Plants have a separate kingdom. Animals have a separate kingdom. Bacteria, protozoans, amoebas are in other kingdoms.

Mushrooms and other fungi
the answer is this has cells and the other doesn't.
