  1. KEY CONCEPTFungi are heterotrophs that absorb their food.

  2. Fungi are adapted to absorb their food from the environment. • Plants and fungi have different traits. • Fungal cell walls are made of chitin. • Plant cell walls are made of cellulose. • Plants have chlorophyll and photosynthesize. • Fungi absorb food through hyphae.

  3. Fungi are multicellular organisms, with the exception of yeasts. • hyphae • mycellium • fruiting body

  4. Fungi come in many shapes and sizes. • Primitive fungi are aquatic and have flagellated spores. • Sac fungi form a reproductive sac, or ascus. • Yeasts are single-celled sac fungi. • Morels and truffles are multicellular sac fungi.

  5. form zygospores during reproduction • mycorrhizae belong to this group • Bread molds are often found on spoiled food.

  6. reproductive structures called basidia • include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi • Club fungi have fruiting bodies which are club-shaped.

  7. Fungi reproduce sexually and asexually. • Most fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. • Yeasts reproduce asexually through budding. • Yeasts form asci during sexual reproduction.

  8. Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles. • distinctive reproductive structures

  9. life cycles may include either sexual or asexual reproduction or both • Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles.

  10. life cycles may include either sexual or asexual reproduction or both Sexual- when food supply is depleted. • Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles.

  11. All fungi form spores and zygotes.

  12. Any fungus that grows rapidly on a surface. Result of asexual reproduction Imperfect fungi- fungi without a known sexual stage. Mold spores germinate in warm, moist environments Nutrients can be found in paper,books, clothing, leather, paint, and even plastics. Molds
