Do fungus have chloroplast?

No. They are not photosynthetic.Do fungus have chloroplast?
no. fungus doesn't have chloroplast because chloroplast would make the fungus green, not brown.Do fungus have chloroplast?
No.


Chroro- means green. Fungus seem never to exhibit this colour.


Fungus belong to a different Kingdom from the green organisms. They use energy from surroundings and the green lives mainly from their chloroplast.
fungi are saprotrophic meaning they obtain carbon and such from dead matter. They decompose things. This makes them heterotrophic rather than autotrophic, like plants.
