What is the difference between fungi and plantae?

Answer 1

The list of the differences between fungi and plantae is extremely long... * Plants are Photosynthesizers, Fungi are decomposers * Plants and Fungi have completely different cell makeup * Plants come from seeds, Fungi don't The list goes on and on... It seems that the only reason that anyone would even think of classifying them under the same Kingdom name, is that they are both stationary, and cannot go find their own food.

Answer 2

The main difference between plants and fungi is that plants are autotrophic (they carry out photosynthesis), while fungi are heterotrophic (they don't carry out photosynthesis).

Algo, structuraly, cell walls of plants are made of cellulose, while fungal cell walls are made of chitin.

Answer 3

Fungi have cell walls made of chitin and are unable to photosynthesize. As well, sexual reporduction is drastically different in fungi from plants.

Plants have cell walls made of cellulose. The most importnatn difference is that plants have chloroplasts containing chlorophyll, which enables to photosynthesize.

Answer 4

Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from their environment, while plants are autotrophic organisms that can photosynthesize to produce their own food. Fungi do not have chlorophyll and cell walls made of chitin, whereas plants have chlorophyll and cell walls made of cellulose. Additionally, fungi reproduce through spores, while plants reproduce through seeds.

Answer 5

fungi decompose organic waste while plants don't
