Detailed explanation-1: -No, fungi do not have chloroplast as well as chlorophyll. They are heterotrophic organisms. Their mode of nutrition can be symbiotic, parasitic or saprophytic. Fungi produce enzymes to break complex organic food into its simpler forms.
Detailed explanation-2: –Fungi do not photosynthesize due to the absence of chlorophyll which helps in converting the light energy to chemical energy.-It helps in the decomposition of the organic matter and provides nutrients back to the soil.-They contain spores for the process of asexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between plants and fungi is how they obtain energy. Plants are autotrophs, meaning that they make their own “food” using the energy from sunlight. Fungi are heterotrophs, which means that they obtain their “food” from outside of themselves. In other words, they must “eat” their food like animals do.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi are plant-like organisms that lack chlorophyll. Since they do not have chlorophyll, fungi must absorb food from dead organic matter.
