Fungus

2
Characteristics

• -eukaryotic cells
• - multicellular / unicellular (yeast)
• - heterotrophs many are decomposers

3
Structures

• - hyphae basic unit of multicellular fungus,
  threadlike
• - mycelium network of hyphae

4
Structures

• hyphae can have different functions in the
  mycelium
• --anchor the fungus
• --invade the food source
• --form reproductive structures

5
Structures

• cell walls made of chitin
• - septum divide hyphae into individual cells
• - hyphae can be multinucleated

6
Feeding

• fungus use extracellular digestion (outside the
  fungus cell)
• food is digested and then absorbed into the cell

7

• haustoria hyphae which penetrate into the cell
  to absorb the food

8
Reproduction

• - fungus reproduce by
• budding form of asexual reproduction similar to
  cell division, seen in yeast

9
Reproduction

• fragmentation pieces of hyphae are broken off
  grow into a new mycelium

10
Reproduction

• spores reproductive cell that can develop into
  a new organism
• produced on a sporangium

11

• Lichen a symbiotic relationship between a fungus
  and a photosynthetic algae
