  • 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.

All protists are eukaryotic. That is, all protists have cells with nuclei. In addition, all protists live in moist environments. Protists can be unicellular or multicellular. Protists can be microscopic or can be over 100 meters (300 feet) long. Some protists are heterotrophs, while others are autotrophs.
