2. Fungi

3. Fungi • A large group of organisms that include unicellular yeasts to multi- cellular moulds and mushrooms. • Once considered a plant as they are immobile but they cannot make their own food (photosynthesis).

5. Fungi Sporangium Spores Food Hyphae

6. Fungi • Sporangium – produces and contains spores. • Spores – a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersal. • Hyphae – very fine threads which invade tissue of host organism or dead matter.

7. Fungi Feeding • Most fungi are saprophytes, growing on top of and down through their food source. • They obtain nutrients by secreting digestive enzymes from their hyphae which break down the food so that it can be absorbed.

8. Reproduction • Fungi grow from tiny particles called spores which float around the air like dust. 2. 1. 3.

9. Reproduction • Fungi can reproduce asexually, producing genetically identical offspring, or sexually, creating diversity.

10. Helpful Fungi • Fungi are involved in decomposition. • Yeast used in bread-making, brewing and wine-making by forming ethanol and CO2. • Some create antibiotics (e.g. penicillin). • Some fungi are edible.

15. Harmful Fungi • Spoil food and render it dangerous to eat (e.g. aspergillus on peanuts). • Serious diseases of crops and other plants. • Damage timber if untreated. • Pathogenic fungi cause a variety of diseases.
