How do fungi differ from plants?

Plants use sunlight and water to get energy. Fungi eat decayed things.

Explanation:

Also, they are different in two other important ways: 1) fungi cell walls are composed of chitin rather than cellulose (plants) and 2) fungi do not make their own food like plants do through photosynthesis. They are eukaryotic. They get their food by decomposing matter or eating off their hosts as parasites. Like I said above, they eat dead things.

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
