Which traits make fungi more related to animals than to plants?

heterotrophic, chitin in cell walls
autotrophic, cellulose in cell walls
vascular tissues, heterotrophic
vascular tissues, autotrophic

heterotrophic, chitin in cell walls

Fungi is a group of eukaryotic organisms, which can be grouped into Kingdom of Fungi. This kingdom includes organisms ranging from small microorganisms such as yeast and molds to large mushrooms. The fungi are different from plants, animals and bacteria as they possess chitin in their cell walls. However, these organisms can be more related to animals rather than to plants as they cannot produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis like plants. These organisms are dependent upon other organisms and their dead remains to obtain their food.

The correct answer is heterotrophic and chitin in cell walls.

Explanation:

Fungi refer to a kingdom of eukaryotic, heterotrophic species like the animals, as they attain their food from other species. That is, by captivating nutrients from the environment, either from the non-living or living organic matter. This is due to the fact that they do not contain chlorophyll pigment, unlike plants that are autotrophic in nature, as they produce their own food.  

The fungi are non-vascular in nature, as they do not possess vascular tissues like phloem and xylem, unlike the plants. The cell wall of fungi is mainly formed of chitin, unlike plants that comprise cellulose in their cell walls.
