How are fungi similar and dissimilar to plants?
(N/A) Similarities: Both fungi and plants possess a rigid cell wall,which provides structural support to the organism.
Dissimilarities: Fungi are heterotrophic,meaning they obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment,often acting as saprophytes or parasites. In contrast,plants are autotrophic,containing chlorophyll,which allows them to synthesize their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
