Fungi are different from plants because they lack
A
cells
B
chlorophyll
C
nuclei
D
cell walls
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are plants that lack chlorophyll and also they are distinguished by their unique structure as well as physiological features. Fungi also have a cell wall that is made up of chitin and get the nutrients through absorption. As there is a lack of chlorophyll in fungi so photosynthesis will not take place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants are producers, using the energy of the sun to make seeds, cones, and spores to reproduce, while fungi are decomposers that break down decaying matter. Fungi create a fruiting body, the part of the mushroom we see aboveground that release spores to reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Q. Fungi do not possess chlorophyll. Hence they are incapable of photosynthesis.So, they depend on either living organisms or non-living things. Name the two types of modes of nutrition in fungi.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants are autotrophic eukaryotes. Fungi are heterotrophic eukaryotes. They are producers in a food chain. They are decomposers in a food chain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reason 1: Fungi Lack Chloroplasts They obtain nutrients by parasitizing fungi (mycoheterotrophic).
