NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Algae contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which induces green color to the plants. Fungi do not contain chlorophyll and hence are not green in color.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Characteristics of Fungi Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms. They may be unicellular or filamentous. They reproduce by means of spores. Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Characteristics of Algae Algal cells are eukaryotic. For instance, algae can photosynthesize like plants, and they possess specialized structures and cell-organelles, like centrioles and flagella, found only in animals. The algal cell walls consist of mannans, cellulose and Galatians.

Detailed explanation-5: -Algae are plant-like organisms that can be either unicellular or multicellular, and derive energy via photosynthesis. Protozoa are unicellular organisms with complex cell structures; most are motile. Microscopic fungi include molds and yeasts. Helminths are multicellular parasitic worms.
