Answer:

Plato Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants and fungi both have cell walls, which provide them with support and structure. But one main difference is that plants, unlike fungi, have the ability to photosynthesize.

Similarities: both originated from “protists” and they have similar cell structures.

Differences: plants use photosynthesis to make food, while fungi cannot. Fungi does not possess chlorophyll, which is a key part of the photosynthesis process for plants.
