1. Warm-Up Thurs 2/16 Describe the three types of protists.
Explain why these organisms are NOT classified into the other kingdoms.

2. Protists: What’s in the Water? Movie Trailer

3. Kingdom Fungi

6. Kingdom Fungi Characteristics
Is fungi autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Is fungi eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
Is fungi unicellular or multicellular?
Does fungi have a cell wall?
BONUS: What is it made of?
Except YEAST
YES!
Chitin

7. Where do fungi grow?
Warm, damp, dark places

8. Basic Structure of Fungi
Multicellular
Hyphae threadlike filaments
that form a network called mycelium
Unicellular Yeast
Most of the Fungi is found underground!

9. Cellular respiration with no oxygen
Importance of Fungi
Decompose organic matter
(recycle nutrients)
Food (mushrooms, bleu cheese, soy sauce, etc…)
Baking and brewing
(by alcoholic fermentation)
Soil formation
BioTechnology used to make antibiotics and other drugs
Cellular respiration with no oxygen

10. Fungi as Decomposers: Help break down decaying matter and recycle nutrients

11. Animals
Athlete’s foot
Ringworm
Candidia albicans
Fungi as Parasites Parasitism – Fungi benefits and the affected plants or animal is harmed

12. Fungi as Parasites Plants Can result in massive crop losses Rust Smut
Mildew
Can result in massive crop losses

13. Parasitic Fungi

14. Mutualistic Fungi: Mutualism- both the fungi and the photosynthetic organism benefit
Examples:
Mycorrhizae symbiosis between Fungus + Plants
How do they benefit each other?
Plant provides food by photosynthesis
Fungi increase water and mineral intake

15. Mutualistic Fungi
Lichens symbiosis between Fungus + Algae – essential in the formation of soil
How do they benefit each other?
Algae provides food by photosynthesis
Fungi provides water and minerals

16. Reproduction Asexual Sexual Fragmentation Budding Fruiting body Spores
Dispersed by wind, water and animals

17. Penicillin
Alexander Fleming, 1928

18. Fun Fact!
Morels & truffles are considered edible fungi delicacies…and are very expensive!!
TRUFFLES $500-$6000 per pound!
MORELS
$50-$100 per pound
