  • 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.

What are the differences between fungus like protists and fungi?

Fungus-like protists, such as slime molds and water molds, are primarily classified under the kingdom Protista, while true fungi belong to the kingdom Fungi. Fungus-like protists often exhibit characteristics of both fungi and protozoa, such as motility in their life cycle stages, whereas fungi are non-motile and grow through hyphal networks. Additionally, fungus-like protists can reproduce both sexually and asexually, while fungi primarily reproduce through spores. Biochemically, fungi have chitin in their cell walls, whereas many fungus-like protists have cellulose or other polysaccharides.
