Answer 2

Plants containing chlorophyll, primordial nucleus or ideal nucleus, autotrophic nutrition, monoecious, protozoan plants are called algae. Chlorophyll-free, eukaryotic, renu-producing monocots in which parasitic nutrition is observed are called fungi.

Difference between Algae and Fungi:

• Algae are uninucleate or nucleated unicellular plants of the division Thallophyta, which are autotrophic nutrients of various shapes and sizes and contain chlorophyll.

• On the other hand, simple plants belonging to Thallophyta group with different shapes and sizes, without chlorophyll, with ideal nucleus and parasitic nutrition and asexually and sexually reproducible are called fungi.

• Algae are green in color because they contain chlorophyll.  On the other hand, the fungus is colorless or slightly gray in color as there is no chlorophyll in the body of the fungus.

• Algae contain chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.  On the other hand, fungi do not contain chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.

• Algae make their own food by participating in photosynthesis process, they are autophagous.

• On the other hand fungi cannot make their own food as they do not participate in the photosynthesis process, they are parasites.

• Algae need light for reproduction and life cycle.  On the other hand, light is not required for the growth and life cycle of fungi.
