Similarities between algae and fungi
Ø Both algae and fungi are thallophytes (plant
body not differentiated into root, stem and leaves)
Ø Both algae and fungi are placed together in the division thallophyta of cryptogams
Ø With the exception of blue green algae, majority of algae and fungi are eukaryotic
Ø Vascular tissue system is absent in both groups
Ø Both algae and fungi processes cell wall made of polysaccharides, chemical nature of cell wall varies in algae and fungi
Ø Symbiotic members are present in both groups (algae with animals, fungi with roots of higher plants, between algae and fungi as in lichens)
Ø Both groups can reproduce by vegetative reproduction by fragmentation
Ø Both algae and fungi can reproduce asexually by the production of various motile and non-motile spores
Ø Sex organs are naked in both groups, no protective covering for sex organs in both groups
