Distinguishing characters of fungi are: 1.It is a plant like microscopic multicellular organism living on a nutrient substrate. 2.They are achlorophyllous,heterotrophic thallophytes. 3.Every fungi contains mass of interwoven hyphae is called mycelium. 4.The mycelium may be unicellular or multicellular. 5.Fungi have definie cell wall made up of chitin. 6They have reserved food material in the form of glycogen or oil-droplets 7.They reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation,asexually by spores and sexually by gamates.

∙ 12y agoFungi are not photosynthetic, although they may house PS bacteria (that is what a lichen is). Fungi have chitinous cell walls, as opposed to cellulose based walls. Fungi are heterotrophs, they cannot make their own energy, they must consume some other organism (dead or alive) for energy, as opposed to plants, which are usually autotrophs, but sometimes mixotrophs.

∙ 9y agoCharacteristics that distinguish fungi from other organisms are plant like microscopic multicellular organism living on a nutrient substrate, fungal cell walls that contain chitin and nutritional mode.

∙ 8y agoFungi are heterotrophic, and plants are autotrophic. Fungi are both multicellular and unicellular.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agowell fungi are multi cellular or single cellular and they have their own nucleus, and they can only stay in one place. While bacteria is everywhere and can cause illness.

What characteristics distinguish fungi and plants?
Fungi were first classified as plants. However they differ in that they are heterotrophs while plants are photoautotrophs. Some characterizes that plants and fungi share are: multicellular and eukaryotic organisms, have cell wall, produce spores and are non-motile.
Which of the following characteristics is usually shared by bacteria and fungi and plants?
They usually have a cell wall.
What are two types of living things that biologists could study?
prokaryotes (which are bacteria and archaea) and eukaryotes (which are animals, plants, protists, and fungi). hope this helps
What characteristics do plants fungi protists bacteria and archaea have in common?
They break up things, all bacteria doesn't but some does.yea they do lol
How do fungi differ from plants?
Fungi lack chloroplasts, which means they are unable to undergo photosynthesis as plants are. This means that while plants are typically autotrophs (producers), fungi are heterotrophs (consumers). Fungi have a cell wall of chitin instead of the cellulose that plants make. Fungi store energy as glycogen; plants store energy as starch. Fungi have a single, posteriorly oriented flagellum while plants have multiple flagella that are anteriorly oriented.
Does the presence of nuclei in fungi as well as its ability to reproduce asexually distinguish from bacteria?
Those are two of many characteristics that distinguish fungi from bacteria.

What are the characteristics of fungi from plants?
Green and usually worm like.Sometimes mold like.

What characteristics make Fungi different than plants?
they have different cell membrane. Ms. Amanda
What are two characteristics that distinguish fungi from plant?
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.
Why do algae and fungi have their own kingdoms?
Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms. Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells. Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria. So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.
What is one similarity between fungi and plants?
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
