  1. FUNGI By Adam, Aaron, and Jeremy

  2. Explanation of a Fungi’s cell • Multicellular • Yeast (single celled) • Yeast reproduce through budding. • Fungi have cell walls, but unlike plants their cell walls are composed chitin. • Chitin is the same stuff that arthropod exoskeletons are composed of (crickets, scorpions, etc..)

  3. Cont. • Hyphae which develop from fungal spores are the most basic unit of multicellular fungi. • Mycelium is a network of filaments similar to roots. • Spores are the fungal equivalent of a seed.

  4. Energy Acquisition • Fungi are heterotroph • Heterotroph means that they eat organic matter and break it down to obtain energy. • Saptrophic: Eats dead organic material. • Parasitic: Eats living organic material.

  5. Examples of Fungi • Yeast: single celled, reproduce asexually through budding, used in baking. • Nia Vibrissa: Wood rotting fungus, lives on driftwood and submerged timber, reproduces sexually. http://greaterimmunity.com/Images/Baker%27s%20yeast%20ng.gifbuddi

  6. “WOW!” • The oldest fungus around are at least 545 million years old and is aquatic. • There are fungus rings living around Stonehenge that are so large they can be seen from an airplane. • There is a theory that fungi first came to earth from space!
