Fungi cannot be classified into the world of plants because they ____
A
have spores
B
autrotof
C
have hyphae
D
does not have chlorophyll
E
have cell walls
Explanation: 

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: -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: -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-4: -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-5: –Fungi do not photosynthesize due to the absence of chlorophyll which helps in converting the light energy to chemical energy.
