Detailed explanation-1: -Algae and fungi differ in their mode of nutrition. Algae are autotrophic. They have chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis. Fungi are heterotrophic, they are dependent on others for their nutrients requirement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Being an autotroph, algae possess chlorophyll and other photosynthetic pigments. Fungi are heterotrophs, they digest external food by secreting enzymes.
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: -All plants, algae, and cyanobacteria which photosynthesize contain chlorophyll “a". A second kind of chlorophyll is chlorophyll “b", which occurs only in “green algae” and in the plants.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot prepare their own food.
