General characteristics Classification criteria

eukaryotes heterotrophs

feed by absorption mostly multicellular

except unicellular yeasts cell wall

chitin rigid polysaccharide

sexual & asexual reproduction

AP Biology

Fungal Structure Fungal body

mycelium thread-like cells hyphae

Cells multiple nuclei

Cell wall chitin

just like crab shells

AP Biology

Internal structure Eukaryotic cells

long, thread-like cells filamentous

incomplete divisions between cells septum

multiple nuclei

Aaaaah,structure–function

Modes of Nutrition Heterotrophic

secrete digestive enzymes feed by absorption

parasites feeding on living creatures

predators paralyzing prey

decomposer breakdown dead remains

Fungi live IN their food!

It’s like you living in Chocolate cake!

Ecological Roles Decomposers

recycle nutrients Symbiotic Relationships

lichen fungi + algae

cyanobacteria or green algae pioneer species in

ecosystems makes soil from bare rock

mycorrhizae fungi + plants enables plants to absorb more water

Lichens are fungi that have discovered

agriculture!

AP Biology

Mycorrhizae Critical role in plant growth

extends water absorption of roots

Reproduction Asexual

budding in yeast

Sexual spores

spread by wind joining of + & – haploid spores
