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.


When fungi live on the roots of plants how are they obtaining nutrients?

Fungi obtain nutrients by forming a symbiotic relationship with plants known as mycorrhizae. The fungi help plants absorb water and essential minerals, while the plants provide sugars and other organic compounds to the fungi. This mutually beneficial relationship allows both the fungi and the plants to thrive.
