1. KEY CONCEPT Fungi are heterotrophs that absorb their food.

2. Fungi are adapted to absorb their food from the environment.
Plants and fungi have different traits.
Fungal cell walls are made of chitin.
Plant cell walls are made of cellulose.
Plants have chlorophyll and photosynthesize.
Fungi absorb food through hyphae.
Plants have true roots, stems and leaves.
Plants and fungi both:
Are non-moving
Grow underground and aboveground
May produce spores

3. Fungi are multicellular organisms, with the exception of yeasts.
hyphae
mycellium
fruiting body

5. Fungi come in many shapes and sizes.
Primitive fungi are aquatic and have flagellated spores.
Sac fungi (Ascomycota) form a reproductive sac, or ascus.
Yeasts are single-celled sac fungi.
Morels and truffles are multicellular sac fungi.
Penicillium (makes penicillin)

6. truffles

7. Penicillium mold

8. Bread molds (Zygomycota) are often found on spoiled food.
form zygospores during reproduction
mycorrhizae belong to this group

10. Club fungi (Basidiomycota)have fruiting bodies which are club-shaped.
reproductive structures called basidia
include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf fungi

12. Fungi reproduce sexually and asexually.
Most fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Yeasts reproduce asexually through budding.
Yeasts form asci during sexual reproduction.

13. Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles.
distinctive reproductive structures

14. Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles.
life cycles may include either sexual or asexual reproduction or both

16. Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive cycles.
life cycles may include either sexual or asexual reproduction or both

17. All fungi form spores and zygotes.
