Plants are eukaryotic, autotrophic organism with differentiation
into stem, root and leaf. The branch of science that deals with the study of
plants is called botany.
Fungi (singular: fungus) are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organism
without differentiated plant body. The branch of science that deals with the
study of fungus is called mycology.

Plants have definite cell wall.
|
Fungi may be septate (with internal cross wall) or
aseptate (without internal cross wall).
|
Plant cell wall is made up
of cellulose.
|
Fungal cell wall is made up
of chitin.
|
Plant cell generally
possess single nucleus per cell
|
Fungal cell may be
uninucleated or multinucleated (many nuclei per cell)
|
Plant cell possess chloroplast therefore carrying
out photosynthesis (autotrophs).
|
Chloroplast is absent in fungal cells therefore living
as saprophytes (feeding on dead decayed matter) or parasites (heterotrophs).
|
In plant cells, phytosterols are associated with
plasma membrane and membranes of other organelles.
|
In fungal cells, ergosterol is the most common
sterol associated with plasma membrane and membranes of other organelles.
|
In plant cell, starch granules are present as stored
food is starch.

In fungal cells, glycogen granules are present as
stored food is glycogen.

Thanks, very useful. To add, fungal cells have centriole.
