Question

How do fungi differ from plants?

Answer 1

The fungi are the diverse microorganisms which belong to the eukaryotes. They exhibit characteristics which are completely different from plants and animals.
Plants are also eukaryotes but they differ from fungi in many ways from the growth to the mechanism of survival and proliferation or reproduction.

Complete answer:

FUNGI	PLANTS
They are eukaryotes.	They are eukaryotes.
They come under autotrophs because they cannot prepare their own food.	They are Heterotrophs they can prepare their own food
The cell of the fungi is made up of chitin which plays a major role.	They do not depend on anyone for the food except sun, water.
Fungi lack chlorophyll in their cells hence they cannot under photosynthesis mechanisms to make their own food	They can produce seeds and help increase the habitat
They directly or indirectly depend on Heterotrophs and saprophytes that is they feed on dead and decaying organisms	They contain chlorophyll in their cells which allows they to undergo photosynthesis process
Few fungi are parasites, they cannot produce seeds	The cell mechanisms exhibit cell division and modifications
They can move or spread from one position to other	They cannot move the plants are immobile
Fungi absorbs food from hyphae	They make their own food and provide food, nutrients for the autotrophs
They do not have root formation mechanism	They contain root growth
They are only few organelles in the fungi in most of the fungi there are no organelles	The cell body contains many organelles for food storage, vegetation etc,

Note: The Fungi containing mycelium and septa are observed and the mycelium in fungi is a huge network of Fungi where the spores form a highly branched network. This network in the fungi contains specific mechanisms which are not observed in plants. But plants has different cellular and photosynthetic mechanism for the respiration and survival
