Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fungi are not classified as plants because
A
they do not have cell walls
B
they produce asexual spores
C
they do not produce flowers
D
they do not have chlorophyll
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We have arrived at our first reason fungi are not plants: fungi lack chloroplasts. This verdant, unifying feature of plants is readily observable to the eye, and these chlorophyll-containing plastids continue to be an important milestone for our modern understanding of plant evolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Fungal cells also differ from plants in that they lack chlorophyll (the green pigment in most plants), which leads to another difference between fungi and plants; how they get their energy.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Why fungi and bacteria are considered as plants even though they do not have chlorophyll? Fungi and bacteria are not classified as plants. They exist in a different kingdom. But these do work on preparing food via the process of photosynthesis.
