Presentation Transcript

  1. Fungi

  2. Fungi • Domain: Eukarya • Kingdom: Fungi • Phylum: N/A

  3. Reproduction • Produce sexual spores • Spores carried in air or attached to the bodies of insects or animals • Special hyphae called sporangia in the zygomycetes • Special hyphae called conidia in the ascomycetes and basidiomycetes • Hyphae • Mycelium

  4. Fungi • Non-photosynthetic • Chitinous cell walls • Multicellular/unicellular

  5. Feeding Mechanism • Heterotrophic • Extracellular digestion • Acquire nutrients from decaying material • Mycelium from spore grows on its food • Digestive Enzymes secreted to break down insoluble food • Food passes through cell wall

  6. Zygomycetes • Molds • Produce haploid spores • Responsible for food spoilage

  7. Ascomycetes • Cup/sac fungi • Yeasts also • Plant pathogens

  8. Basidiomycetes • Club fungi • Rusts • Wood decomposers • Shelf Fungi

  9. Fungi • Yeast • Single celled • Reproduce by budding

  10. Fungi is Unique • Absorption among Eukaryotes unique to fungi only • Digest food, then eat it
