Question

Which of the following is not a correct difference between fungi and plants?

• A. Fungi are heterotrophic while plants are autotrophic.
• B. The cell wall in fungi is made of chitin while the cell wall in plants is made of cellulose.
• C. Fungi reproduce through spores while plants reproduce through seeds
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fungi reproduce through spores while plants reproduce through seeds

Fungi do not produce their own food and have to obtain it from other sources. The cell walls of fungi are usually made of chitin (also found in the exoskeleton of insects, crustaceans, and other arthropods), whereas the cell walls of plants are made of cellulose. Spores are produced by both fungi and plants. In fungi, spores are asexual while in plants they are sexual.
