NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are more like animals because they are heterotrophs, as opposed to autotrophs, like plants, that make their own food. Fungi have to obtain their food, nutrients and glucose, from outside sources. The cell walls in many species of fungi contain chitin.

Detailed explanation-2: -A unique feature of fungi is that they contain chitin in their cell wall. They were previously filed under plants but since they lack chlorophyll pigments and have different structural features compared to plants, they have been named a separate kingdom.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fungi secrete digestive enzymes, then absorb nutrients from their surroundings. This is in sharp contrast to plants, which make their own food (thanks to their chloroplasts).

Detailed explanation-4: -Differences Between Plant Cells and Fungus Cells The cell wall of a fungus is made up of a three-part matrix of chitin, glucans, and proteins. The cell wall of a plant is usually made of cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectin, agar, and others.
