1. Protista and Fungi

12. Fungus-Like Protists
fungus-like protists absorb nutrients from living or dead organisms. Ex. Water Mold

15. Fungi Characteristics:
Spore producing organisms that absorb nutrients from the environment.
Placed in their own Kingdom – Fungi Kingdom
Consumers
Can not move

16. Decomposers
Fungi get nutrients by secreting digestive juices onto a food source.
Dead matter
All are made up of eukaryotic cells
Contain a cell wall made of chitin.

17. Unicellular and multicellular
Many Multicellular Fungi contain fungal filaments called hyphae.
Most hyphae in a fungus form mycelium which makes up most of the fungus.

21. Different Kinds of Fungi
Fungi are classified based upon their shape and the way they reproduce.
Three main groups:
Zygote Fungi
Sac Fungi
Club Fungi

23. Important Decomposers
Important decomposers of wood. The nutrients in wood could not recycle itself.
Why is this important for our ecosystem?

27. Sac Fungi Reproduce sexually and asexually
Sexual reproduction spores are developed within a microscopic sac that releases them.
Yeast are asexual (budding) and are single celled.
