Detailed explanation-1: -Both plant and fungal cells are enclosed by a cell wall while animal cells have no such characteristic. This is true, and cell walls exist in prokaryotes (bacteria, blue-green algae), too.

Detailed explanation-2: -Differences between plant cells and fungus cells include: The cell wall of a fungus is made up of a three-part matrix of chitin, glucans, and proteins. The cell wall of a plant is usually made of cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectin, agar, and others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungal cells are similar to plant and animal cells in that they have a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. Like plant cells, fungal cells have a cell wall but they aren’t made of cellulose, they’re made of chitin instead.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, fungi have cell walls. All fungi, whether unicellular or multicellular, have a thick cell wall composed of tough complex polysaccharides called chitin. Chitin provides the cell walls of fungi with crucial structural strength. They also protect fungal cells from dehydrating and predators.

Detailed explanation-5: -What are the similarities between plants and fungi? Both fungi and plants are eukaryotes. They do not show any movement or locomotion. Also, both plants and fungi have membrane-bound nuclei.
