No, fungi are either saprophytic or parasitic in nature, therefore, these are not equiped for photosynthesis.

Fungi do not make their food through photosynthesis like plants do. Instead, they absorb nutrients from their surroundings by breaking down organic matter in their environment. This process is called saprotrophic nutrition.
True. Most fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants. Instead, they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their environment.
No, fungi are not able to undergo photosynthesis like plants to produce their own sugar. Instead, they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their environment through the process of decomposition.
The kingdom most likely to include organisms that can make their own food is the Kingdom Plantae. Plants are able to produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, while green plants are autotrophic and perform photosynthesis to make their own food. Fungi do not contain chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis in green plants. Additionally, fungi have cell walls made of chitin, while green plants have cell walls made of cellulose.
