Protists have a unicellular organization, whereas the fungi have a multicellular organization.The genome of mitochondria also got reduce in fungi. It simply respires through aerobically, and anaerobic respiration is not present in fungi. The process of respiration in fungi is not very complicated. It obtains energy from the dead body with the help of rhizoids and haustoria through which the fungi obtain energy from the living body. The process nutrient attainment in fungi is variable such as saprotrophic, parasitism, carnivorous, etc. It has a different kind of intercellular organization such as compartments of cytoplasm and contains septate that are involved in the continuous flow of materials throughout the body of fungi.įungi do not have outer structures like cilia, flagella, etc. All the fungus group has a cell wall, and it is made of chitin, a special polysaccharide. What are Fungi?įungi are the organisms that have an organization of multicellular, and its cells are called eukaryotic cells. As protists are prokaryotes, that’s they are not highly developed as eukaryotes and do not have some organelles that are present in eukaryotic cells. The hyphae of fungi-like protists are coenocytes. It remains the same as got from the ancestors. These mitochondria also have a genome of retention. The mitochondria in protists are evolved from the ancestors. The process of osmoregulation in protists is well-developed. It can respire through aerobically and anaerobically. The respiration in protists is also quite variable. The process of nutrients attainments is mixotrophic, and several methods are involved in obtaining the food. It has a cell membrane of plant, animal, and fungi-like. It also has some outer structures like cilia, flagella that helps the protists to move and slide and capture the food. It has no intercellular organization of like compartments of cytoplasm. It is also of variable structure in protists. Some protists have a cell wall, but this structure is not present in all. Protists are the organisms that have an organization of unicellular, and its cells are called prokaryotic cells. Very small that can only see in the microscope Protists are the organisms that have an organization of unicellular and are prokaryotes.įungi are the organisms that have an organization of multicellular and are eukaryotes. The cell membrane of protists is usually variable, while the cell membrane of fungi is usually chitinous. In protists, mitochondria always have genome preservation, whereas, in fungi, mitochondria always have genome reduction. In protists, the process of nutrient attainment is mixotrophic, whereas, in fungi, the process of nutrient attainment is saprotrophic.
