Page 1: Fungi

FungiFungi are eukaryotes that have cell walls, are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, and use spores to reproduce. The cells of most fungi are arranged in a structure called hyphae.

Page 2: Fungi

Fungi absorb food through hyphae that grow into the food source.

Page 3: Fungi

The fungus grows hyphae into food then hyphae secrete digestive chemicals into food. After food is broken down, hyphae absorb it.

Page 4: Fungi

Fungi produce thousands of spores with a protective covering: carried by water and air. spores land in a warm, moist place they grow.

Reproduction in Fungi

Page 5: Fungi

Asexual Reproduction in Fungi is called budding. No spores are produced, instead a bud from the parent cell forms then breaks off.

Page 6: Fungi

Fungi also reproduce sexually. Two hyphae of two fungi grow together and genetic material is exchanged. A new reproductive structure grows from this fused joint and Spores are produced.

Fungi are classified into 3 major groups. Club Fungi, Sac Fungi, and Zygote Fungi. p. 205

Puffball is a Club Fungi

Morel is a SacFungi

Bread mold is a Zygote Fungi
