Fungi: basic biology, structure (hyphae), and reproduction

Notes

Fungi Fecha: / / What is it -> Eukaryotic cells with cell walls. -> Heterotrophs that feed by absorbing food through their cell walls. -> Their cells are arranged into Hyphae -> Some fungi are decomposters, while others act as parasites The Honey Mushroom -> The Threadlike tubes that give fungi structure and help them spread over large areas. -> Fungi include mushrooms, yeast and molds. Hyphae - Give fungi structure and allow them to spread across large areas. - Grow inside food sources and release chemicals Fruiting Bodie - Reproduction structures - Produce spores that are carried by the wind or water to new locations. What are 2 ways fungi reproduce? Spreading by wind / By Water CAP What is the purpose of fungal spores? Spread Seeds Spores -> stalk Give me an example of a Fungus. Pencillium Mud grow on Food Luncheforms yeast, fact carbon
