In order to photosynthesis a plant needs a substance called chlorophyll, which helps produce sugars from sunlight (as a catalyst) water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Chlorophyll is a vivid green in colour and is present in the cells of all plants giving plants their green colour. Although growing in the ground like a plant, mushrooms are not ppart of the plant kingdom, but are in a separate group called fungi which includes mushrooms, toadstools, moulds and yeasts. As fungi are not green, but usually a white or grey colour, they do not contain chlorophyll, and so they cannot photosynthesise as they don't have this substance necessary for photosynthesis. Instead, mushrooms and other fungi have to get their nutrients from dead and decaying plants which is why you often see fungus growing on dead wood in forests.
No, fungi do not carry out photosynthesis. Unlike plants, fungi obtain their energy by breaking down organic matter from their surroundings. They are heterotrophic organisms that rely on consuming nutrients rather than producing their own through photosynthesis.
Yes, ferns do carry out photosynthesis. They have chlorophyll in their fronds, which allows them to capture sunlight and convert it into energy. The process of photosynthesis in ferns is essential for their growth and survival.
No, fungi are either saprophytic or parasitic in nature, therefore, these are not equiped for photosynthesis.
No, fungi do not possess chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis, which fungi do not perform.
Actually, no. Organisms in the kingdom Plantae do not contain chlorophyll and do not undergo photosynthesis. Only organsims in kingdom Plantae undergo photosynthesis. Organisms in kingdom Fungi are typically parasitic and live on other organisms.

which types of cell contain chloroplasts and are able to carry out photosynthesis
Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia
Fungi do not have the ability to undergo photosynthesis.
Mushrooms are a type of fungus and they are used for spreading their organism's spores. Fungi are absorptive heterotrophs and obtain their food from their environments. They do not go through photosynthesis.
Yes, ferns do carry out photosynthesis. They have chlorophyll in their fronds, which allows them to capture sunlight and convert it into energy. The process of photosynthesis in ferns is essential for their growth and survival.
Yes, fungi and their fruiting bodies (mushrooms) are aerobic organisms and thus require oxygen for their metabolism.
All fungi grow using sunlight and carbon dioxide. This is because they all carry out photosynthesis to make their own food.
autotrophs, usually plants or some fungi.They are called photoautotrophs. Fungi never photosynthetic organisms
nothing would happen because fungi dont carry out photosynthesis.
All fungi are heterotrophic. No fungi is a photoautotroph
