heterotrophs

some are unicellular (yeasts)

most are multicellular

body = mycelium (many hyphae)

feed by absorption

some are septate, others ceonocytic

cell walls strengthened by chitin

coenocytichyphaseptate

hypha

Fungallife cycles

Fig 31.5

hetero- = different-karyon = nucleus

gamos = marriage

Many spp only reproduce asexually (deuteromycetes)
