Characteristics of all Fungi • Cell walls • Heterotrophs (absorbing) • spores
Cell Structure • Unicellular and multicellular • Arranged in hyphae • Look depends on how the hyphae is arranged • Fuzzy = loosely tangled • Solid looking = Tightly arranged
Food • Hyphae grows into food source and absorbed • Pg 90 • Chemicals ooze from hyphae and break down food • Some are parasitic
Reproduction • Spores: lightweight and protected • Spores are produced in fruiting bodies • Part you see in mushrooms
Asexual • Asexual = genetic copies • Spores • Budding (yeast)
Sexual • Hyphae grow together and mix genetic material • Usually when conditions are unfavorable • New hypae grows into a new fungi
Types of Fungi • Sac • Club • Zygote • Pg 91
Activity • Make a mini poster • Choose a type of fungi • Illustrate and bullet important information
Fungi In Nature • Decomposers and Recyclers • Food • Cause and fight disease • symbiosis
Environmental Recycling • Break down dead plants and animals • N2 recycling
Food • Yeast • Blue Cheese • Mushroom
Disease • Alexander Fleming • Penicillin • Humans • Ring worm • Athletes foot • Parasites • Dutch Elm • Corn smut • Wheat rust
Symbiosis • Plant-Root • Lichens • Pioneer organisms • Monitor pollution
Writing • Pg 95 1-3 • Key terms pg 104
