General characteristics Classification criteria
eukaryotes heterotrophs
must feed off of others mostly multicellular
except one-celled yeasts cell wall
AP Biology
Structure Cells
long thread-like cells multiple nuclei cell wall
made from chitin just like crab shells
septum
chitin cell wall

How do Fungi get their Nutrition? Heterotrophs
secrete digestive enzymes absorb digested material
into cell predators
paralyzing prey parasites
feeding on living creatures decomposer
breakdown dead remainsCool…
Fungi live IN their food!

AP Biology
Ecological Roles Decomposers
recycle nutrients
Symbiotic Relationships lichen
fungi + algae pioneer species in
ecosystems makes soil from bare rock
mycorrhizae fungi + plants enables plants to absorb more water
AP Biology
Mycorrhizae Critical role in plant growth
extends water absorption of roots
