Best Answer

Tomato fruit was created by the photosynthesis that occurred in the leaves of the plant itself. This is where the chlorophyll is situated. Specifically the stoma of the plant cell. The chlorophyll contained in these leaves allows sunlight to be converted into the energy required for the plant to grow. All plants grow to reproduce (unless genetically modified) and by producing fruit such as a tomato, the plant is able to do this with the seed contained in the fruit, and therefore continue its lineage.

Fungi are heterotrophic (saprophytic, parasitic or symbiotic) organisms, so they make their own food from other dead or living organisms.
