1
Fungi and plants
2
Fungi Cheese, bread, mushroom
3
Characteristics of fungi
Eukaryote Heterotroph Cell wall is present Do not contain chlorophyll Different from other organisms and placed in a separate kingdom Fungi
4
Shapes and appearance
5
Obtaining food Heterotrophs Decomposers (organic matter)
Some are parasites Some live in mutualistic relationship (mycorrhiza)
6
Structure Some fungi are unicellular, others are multicellular
Multicellular fungi have threads / chains of cells called as hyphae Hyphae grow together to form a mass known as mycelium
7
Structure
8
Making more fungi Asexual Sexual Hyphae break and form new fungus
Asexual spores Sexual Spores are formed from sex cells Spores are dispersed and generate new fungi
9
Kinds of fungi Classification based on shape and the mode of reproduction
10
Kinds of fungi Thread-like fungi Bread mold
11
Kinds of fungi Sac fungi Yeast, mildew, morels
12
Kinds of fungi Sac fungi
13
Kinds of fungi Club fungi Mushrooms
14
Kinds of fungi Club fungi
15
Kinds of fungi Non mushroom club fungi Bracket fungi, rust, smut
16
Kinds of fungi Imperfect fungi Do not fit in other categories
Penicillium, athlete’s foot
17
Lichens Association of fungi with algae
Unlike fungi, lichens are producers Found in variety of environments Soil fertility and colonization

Plants
22
Plants Eukaryotes Multicellular Autotrophic
Cells are surrounded by a cell wall – cellulose Contain chlorophyll Producers in the ecosystem
23
Characteristics of plants
Photosynthesis Plants make food (glucose) and oxygen by utilizing carbon dioxide and water. Energy for this process is obtained from sunlight
24
Characteristics of plants
Cuticle Waxy layer that coats the surfaces Prevents loss of water Vary in thickness Depend on climate and environment
25
Characteristics of plants
Cell wall Outermost layer of the cell Made up of cellulose Supports and protect the cell
26
Characteristics of plants
Cell wall
27
Characteristics of plants
Reproduction Sporophyte – produce spores Gametophyte – produce gametes
28
Characteristics of plants
Transport of materials Xylem – a tissue that transports water Phloem – a tissue that transports food Collectively called as vascular tissues Some plants lack vascular tissue
29
Classification of plants
Non-vascular plants Lack vascular tissue Small in size Movement through diffusion E.g. mosses, liverworts, hornworts
30
Classification of plants
Vascular plants Contain vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) Relatively larger in size May be seedless plants or seed plants i) seedless plants – donot produce seeds e.g. ferns, horsetails ii) seed plants – produce seeds, divided into two groups Non-flowering plants (Gymnosperms) seeds not inside fruit e.g. pine Flowering plants (Angiosperms) seeds inside the fruits e.g. mango
31
Classification of plants
32
Seedless plants Non-vascular Moses, liverworts
Small plants Leafy stalks and rhizoids
33
Seedless plants Non-vascular Importance Colonization
Decomposition and fertility Prevent erosion Sphagnum moss Increase water holding capacity of soil Prevent microbial growth (wound dressing, seed shipment) Dried (insulating material) Monitoring environment
34
Seedless plants Vascular plants Ferns
35
Seedless plants Vascular plants Importance
Soil formation, prevent erosion Contribution to fossil fuels Fiddlehead fern
36
Seed Plants Characteristics Produce seeds Gametophytes are small
Pollens and pollination
37
Seed Plants Seeds Young plant, seed coat, stored food
38
Seed Plants Seeds how animals help seeds grow?
39
Seed Plants Gymnosperms Don’t have flowers or fruits
Conifers, ginkgoes etc. Used for wood Produce resin Drugs
40
Seed Plants Gymnosperms
41
Seed Plants Gymnosperms – life cycle
42
Seed Plants Angiosperms Produce flowers and fruits Monocots and dicots
43
Seed Plants Angiosperms Food, fruits, crops Wood Habitat
Seeds and oils Ornamental Medicine and pharmaceutical products Rubber, cotton, fabric, industrial products
44
Compare life cycle of plants with those of bacteria, protists and fungi
