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

18 Lichens

19 Lichens

20 Plants

21

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
