Mycorrhizae are fungi that cooperate with plants Which interaction best fits the known traits of fungi and plants?

Mutualism best fits the know traits of fungi and plants. The fungi provides soil nutrients to the plant and the plant provides food to the fungi.


How are plants and fungi different?

Plants are autotrophic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, while fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from their surroundings. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while fungi have cell walls made of chitin. Additionally, plants typically have roots, stems, and leaves for structure and support, while fungi consist of mycelium and fruiting bodies.


Which level of taxonomy is used instead od phylum for plants and fungi?

Division is used instead of phylum for plants and fungi in taxonomy.


What is the major difference between fungi and plants?

There are many differences between plants and fungi, however, there are several major differences:Plants obtain nutrients by photosynthesis (carnivorous plants are an exception), but fungi do so both by photosynthesis (though not all fungi photosynthesize) and by decompositionPlants and Fungi have different cell makeupPlants reproduce from seeds, while fungi reproduce from sporesPlants grow significantly larger than fungi (the largest plant in the world is Populous tremuloides, the quaking aspen, which over .4 km2, and weigh 6000 metric tons; the largest fungus in the world is Armillaria solidipes, which would be considered larger, but actually forms colonies)

How are fungi plants different from plants?

Fungi do not use photosynthesis. Also, fungi don't have leaves and roots. Finally, unlike plants, the cell walls of fungi contain chitin.Fungi and plants are in the same domain (Eukarya), but are separate kingdoms. Plants are autotrophs (they make their own food through chemosynthesis or photosynthesis), while fungi are heterotrophs (more specifically they are either parasites or saprobes). Other differences are also present in structure (for example, fungi cell walls are made of chitin while plants' cell walls are made of cellulose), specialization, etc.


How are fungi like plants?

Fungi lack chlorophyll which means they can't photosynthesize, and the composition of fungal cell walls are quite different from those of plants.

Why is fungi different fron plants?

Unlike plants fungi are not primary producers. Fungi are heterotrophs, meaning they feed on other life forms.
