Answer 1

Fung do not produce their own food because they lack chloroplasts. All of the other plants produce their own food by the process called photosynthesis

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Fungi do not produce their own food, and Fungi cell walls are composed of chitin.

Explanation:

Fungi were classified earlier as plants due to their similarities but now they are ranked equally with plants and animals.

The main reason behind removing them from the plant kingdom due to their heterotropic nature which is because of lacking chlorophyll pigment. Chlorophyll is an important pigment of plants that help in their food production by photosynthesis. The second reason is that their cell wall is made-up of the chitin and not like glycogen like plants.

Thus, the correct answer is - Fungi do not produce their own food, and Fungi cell walls are composed of chitin.
