NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between plants and fungi is how they obtain energy. Plants are autotrophs, meaning that they make their own “food” using the energy from sunlight. Fungi are heterotrophs, which means that they obtain their “food” from outside of themselves. In other words, they must “eat” their food like animals do.

Detailed explanation-2: -All fungi are heterotrophic, which means that they get the energy they need to live from other organisms. Like animals, fungi extract the energy stored in the bonds of organic compounds such as sugar and protein from living or dead organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants are the producers in an ecosystem. Fungi generally are the decomposers of the ecosystem. Plant cell wall is made up of cellulose. Fungal cell wall is made up of chitin.

Detailed explanation-4: -The kingdom fungi include mushrooms and yeasts. Their cell walls are made of chitin, and they are heterotrophic, feeding on dead and decaying plants and animals. The kingdom Plantae are eukaryotes that make their food through photosynthesis.
