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.

3

• Fungi are multicellular organisms, with the
  exception of yeasts.

• hyphae
• mycellium
• fruiting body

4
Fungi come in many shapes and sizes.

• Primitive fungi are aquatic and have flagellated
  spores.
• Sac fungi form a reproductive sac, or ascus.
• Yeasts are single-celled sac fungi.
• Morels and truffles are multicellular sac fungi.

5

• Bread molds are often found on spoiled food.

• form zygospores during reproduction
• mycorrhizae belong to this group

6

• Club fungi have fruiting bodies which are
  club-shaped.

• reproductive structures called basidia
• include mushrooms, puffballs, and shelf
  fungi

7
Fungi reproduce sexually and asexually.

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

8

• Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive
  cycles.

• distinctive reproductive structures

9

• Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive
  cycles.

• life cycles may include either sexual or asexual
  reproduction or both

10

• Multicellular fungi have complex reproductive
  cycles.

• life cycles may include either sexual or asexual
  reproduction or both

11

• All fungi form spores and zygotes.
