Bot GPT 3.5 Fungus cells are different from plant cells in several ways. Fungi do not have chlorophyll, so they are not able to conduct photosynthesis like plants. Instead, fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their nutrients by absorbing organic material from their surroundings. Fungi also have cell walls primarily made of chitin, while plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose. Additionally, fungi reproduce through spores rather than seeds like plants.
Some examples of fungi include mushrooms, molds, yeasts, and lichens. Mushrooms are the familiar fruiting bodies of many fungi, while molds are multicellular fungi that often grow on decaying organic matter. Yeasts are single-celled fungi that are important in fermentation processes. Lichens are mutualistic associations between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria.
