What are four major differences between fungi and plants?

Fungi are heterotrophic, obtaining nutrients through absorption, while plants are autotrophic, producing their own food through photosynthesis. Fungi have chitin in their cell walls, while plants have cellulose. Fungi do not contain chlorophyll, so they cannot perform photosynthesis, unlike plants. Fungi reproduce through spores, whereas plants reproduce through seeds.


Does the kingdom fungi use photosynthesis to produce their own food?

No, fungi do not use photosynthesis to produce their own food. Instead, they obtain nutrients by absorbing them from their environment, usually through decomposition of organic matter or by forming symbiotic relationships with other organisms.


What do fungi give off after they digest the food that they asorb?

Fungi give off carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration after they digest the food they absorb. This process helps break down complex molecules into simpler forms that the fungi can use for energy.


How do fungi change complex food into simpler forms they can use?

Fungi give off enzymes that break down complex foods.


Why are fungi and plants in different kingdoms?

Fungi have cell walls composed of chitin instead of cellulose (usually). Fungi also lack chloroplasts and are therefore unable to perform photosynthesis. Fungi use the AAA pathway to synthesize lysine instead of the DAP pathway used by plants. Plants have multiple flagella on their motile spores while fungi only have one. The closing evidence are molecular phylogenies, which pretty consistently group fungi with animals on the tree of life.

How fungi get their foods?

Fungi are heterotrophic (they get their own food). in their mycelium they have hyphae which are like little cells. The fungi use the hyphae to absorb nutrients from organic matter.
