Presentation Transcript

  1. Fungi

  2. Fungi • Mushrooms, mold, lichens • Stationary • Heterotrophs – absorption • Secrete powerful enzymes that digest their food outside of their body and absorb nutrients • Asexual or Sexual Reproduce by spores

  3. Hyphae • Threadlike structure • Covered by a cell wall of chitin • Nuclei, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and ribosomes • Create a mycelium

  4. Chytrids • Only fungi with flagellated spores • Earliest lineage of fungus • Common in lakes, ponds, and soil

  5. Zygote Fungi • Hyphae from two different organisms mate and fuse to from a zygote • Form through meiosis • Have Stolons and Rhizoids • Bread mold, mold on peaches, strawberries, sweet potatoes

  6. Rhizopus

  7. Glomeromycetes • Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi • Hyphae will invade plant roots and branch into tiny tree like structures (arbuscules)

  8. Club Fungi • Possess club shaped structures: basidia • Mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts, puff balls

  9. Edible Poisonous

  10. Sac Fungi • Possess a sac like structure: ascos • Live in marine, freshwater, or terresrial habitats • Truffles, yeast, cap fungi, mildew

  11. Cup Fungi Yeast

  12. Lichens • Composed of a fungus and green algae or cyanobacteria • Grows in soil, rock, and trees • Autotrophic • Photosynthetic

  13. Mycosis • Fungal infection
