Any bacteria, there are no photosynthetic bacteria.
What else can I help you with?
How do nonphotosynthetic organisms obtain the carbon molecules necessary for life?
From dead and decay matter.
What are the different types of metabolic diversity?
Microbial diversity translates to metabolic diversity.Unique fermentation pathways that produce a wide array of end productsAnaerobic respiration: respiration that uses substances other than O2 as a final electron acceptorLithotrophy: use of inorganic substances as sources of energyPhotoheterotrophy: use of organic compounds as a carbon source during bacterial photosynthesisAnoxygenic photosynthesis: uses special chlorophylls and occurs in the absence of O2Methanogenesis: an ancient type of archaean metabolism that uses H2 as an energy source and produces methaneLight-driven nonphotosynthetic energy production: unique archaean metabolism that converts light energy into chemical energy; occurs in the archaea (extreme halophiles)Unique mechanisms for autotrophic CO2fixation, including primary production on anaerobic habitats
What are all the fungi?
the name fungi :) -all fungi are eukaryotic cells with nuclei, mitochondria, golgi, chitin cell walls, etc. This forms the hyphae, and a network of hyphae form a mycelium...this mycelium can form fruiting bodies like mushrooms.
Why are minerals needed by a plant?
Nitrate or ammonia, sulfate, phosphate, iron, magnesium, and potassium are required in substantial amounts for the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, coenzymes, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), chlorophyll and other pigments, and other essential plant constituents. Smaller amounts of such elements as manganese, copper, and chlorine are required in photosynthesis. Some other trace elements are needed for various nonphotosynthetic functions in plants.

What structures do photosynthetic cells have that nonphotosynthetic cells don't?
Photosynthetic cells have special structures called chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, which is responsible for capturing light energy. Nonphotosynthetic cells lack chloroplasts and do not have the ability to carry out photosynthesis. Additionally, photosynthetic cells often have specialized proteins and enzymes involved in the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
What energy sources do some nonphotosynthetic autotrophs use?
Some nonphotosynthetic autotrophs can use inorganic substances, such as sulfur or iron, as energy sources through processes like chemosynthesis. They obtain energy by converting these substances into usable forms to support their metabolism and growth.
Are fungi nonphotosynthetic?
yes, fungi are not photosynthetics "not capable of performing photosynthesis, so must get their nourishment from other sources. Many fungi absorb nutrients directly from t he soil. Many others feed on dead and decaying organisms and therefore have an important role in the recycling of nutrients in natural systems. Still others feed on living organisms. Athlete's foot is a common fungus which feeds on a living host - you! " http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/Life/fungi.html
Compare the structure of a eukaryotic cell with that of a prokaryotic cell?
Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus that houses their DNA, along with membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, with their genetic material floating freely in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells are typically larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.
What is the importance of algae?
Algae form organic food molecules from carbon dioxide and water through the process of photosynthesis, in which they capture energy from sunlight. Similar to land plants, algae are at the base of the food chain, and the existence of nonphotosynthetic organisms is dependent upon the presence of photosynthetic organisms. Nearly three-fourths of Earth is covered by water, and since the so-called higher plants are virtually absent from the major water sources (e.g., the oceans), the existence of nearly all marine life---including whales, seals, fishes, turtles, shrimps, lobsters, clams, octopuses, starfish, and worms---ultimately depends upon ...

Do members of the fungi kingdom photosynthesize?
Most commonly, fungi are saprophytic in nutrition, i.e., they derive nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter. BUT: Lichens are a form of fungus that host cyanobacteria to conduct photosynthesis... except the cyanobacteria have evolved to be dependent on their fungal hosts, and therefore are symbiotes. Plants, likewise, do not directly conduct photosynthesis. Their chloroplasts are simply cyanobacteria that have evolved to become completely dependent on their plant hosts. So, really, lichens are effectively photosynthetic in the same sense plants are. But are a composite organism composed of a fungus (nonphotosynthetic) and cyanobacteria (photosynthetic), instead of a single organism

What categorizes an animal as a mammal?
A mammal breathes air and has a backbone. (or if you want to be all sciency you can say that they are "vertebrates") Hope this helped! I edited it from the last one which was most unhelpful! :)
