Essential Question: Page 7 What are characteristics of fungi?

16.Fungus – define and give 6-7 characteristics Reproduction: Draw Figures 2,3,and 7. Read paragraph “Making More Fungi” and explain how hyphae, spores, and budding produce new fungi. 17. Heterotroph – define and give an example Disadvantages of Fungi – 1. 2. 3. Prevention of fungal infections: 1. Examples: Benefits of Fungi – 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Treatment of Fungal infections– 1. 2. P7.

Vocabulary 16.Fungi: Eukaryotic (nucleus), non-photosynthetic organisms. *Most are multicellular heterotrophs (get food from their environment). http://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityoflife/fungi/preview.weml

Fungi characteristics Eukaryotic (nucleus) Heterotrophic: no chlorophyll Rigid cell walls Spores are airborne and can cause allergic reactions. Ex: (mold) Attacks tissues of living plants & animals. Can cause diseases Attack our food sources; therefore, they are competitors with us for nutrients (Bread mold)

Characteristics continued 8. Have their own kingdom (FUNGI) 10. Different shapes, sizes, and colors 11. Live on or near their food supply (don’t catch or make their own food) 12. Most are consumers, some are decomposers 13. Some are parasitic 14. Ex. Mushrooms, Athlete’s foot, baker’s yeast, ringworm, corn blight

17. Heterotroph: “Troph” means “food” or “nourishment” 17. Heterotroph: “Troph” means “food” or “nourishment”. “Hetero” means “different”. Put it together: a heterotroph is an organism that cannot make its own food and must get it from a different source. Ex. Fungi absorb their food from the environment. They live on their food. Animals and humans are heterotrophs, too, but we use our mouth to EAT our food. Plants make their own food. They are AUTOTROPHS. What do you think “AUTO” means? (No, not “car”!) “Auto” means “self”. Plants can make their food within themselves through photosynthesis.

Fungi reproduction Budding: a “bud” forms and pinches off from the parent (yeast); results in a new yeast (fungus) Hyphae (stringy structures) break apart & each new piece becomes a fungus. Spores are released into the air & when they come to a place where conditions are right, they break open forming new fungi.

Disadvantages of Fungi Airborne spores, when inhaled, can trigger allergic reactions B. Some are pathogenic (cause disease) Ex. athlete’s foot, ringworm, oral thrush, blight in plants, can attack internal organs C. Attack our food sources, making them a COMPETITOR with humans for nutrients. Ex. Attack corn, wheat, fruit-bearing trees, bread, etc.

Ringworm Athlete’s foot Candidiasis/Oral thrush

Corn blight Bread mold Tree fungus

Benefits of Fungi A. Food – ex. Mushrooms on pizza B. Used to make antibiotics, ex. penicillin C. Other medicines and vitamins D. Used to make cheeses, soy sauce, and citric acid E. Yeast used to make bread is a fungus.

Prevention of Fungal Infections: 1. Basic hygiene - cleanliness Ex. Wiping down wrestling/exercise mats before use and after Treatment of Fungal Infections: Anti-fungal medications Some antibiotics; some allergy medicines
