Question

How do fungi differ from green plants?

Answer 1

Answer:

While both are eukaryotic and don't move, plants are autotrophic - making their own energy - and have cell walls made of cellulose, but fungi are heterotrophic - taking in food for energy - and have cell walls made of chitin.

Answer 2

Fungi lack chlorophyll and do not engage in photosynthesis. Plants engage in photosynthesis which produces glucose from carbon dioxide and sunlight. ... Plants are autotrophs, meaning they produce their own food. Fungi are heterotrophs and they rely on other organisms to support themselves.
