2.   List the characteristics of fungi.  Recognize different types of fungi.  How they obtain nutrients.  Describe diseases caused by fungi.  Describe their importance in industry.  Fungi and food. Objectives

3.  What do you see? What is the significance?

4. List the characteristics of fungi Do this in pairs.

5. List the characteristics of fungi Eukaryotic, non photosynthetic, most are multicellular autotrophs.

6.  Different types MoldsYeasts

7.  Different types Molds  Tangled mass of filaments.  Multicellular hyphae.  The dusty texture is caused by spores.

8.  Different types Yeasts  Unicellular fungi.  measuring 3–4 µm in diameter, although some yeasts can reach over 40 µm.

9.  Different nutrition types  Absorb organic matter from their environment.  Secrete digestive enzymes and absorb throw the cell wall.  Most are saprophytic. What's the importance?
