1. KINGDOM FUNGI

2. Kingdom Fungi Characteristics  Eukaryotes  Heterotrophic  mostly multi-cellular  some unicellular (yeast)

3. Kingdom Fungi Characteristics  Eukaryotes  Heterotrophic  mostly multi-cellular  some unicellular (yeast)  Have cell walls  Sessile (Can’t move)  Secrete digesting enzymes

4. Structures  Cell wall made of Chitin: polysaccharide found in exoskeletons  not cellulose like plants

5. Structures  hyphae: filaments that grow outwards

6. Structures  hyphae: filaments that grow outwards  mycelium: mat of hyphae  secretes enzymes to break down substances

7. Structures  hyphae: filaments that grow outwards  mycelium: mat of hyphae  secretes enzymes to break down substances  nutrients then absorbed through the cell wall

8. Reproduction (Two Types)  Unicellular undergoes budding

9. Reproduction (Two Types)  Unicellular undergoes budding  Multicellular:  asexual: release genetically identical spores to spread and grow

10. Reproduction (Two Types)  Unicellular undergoes budding  Multicellular:  asexual: release genetically identical spores to spread and grow  sexual (not common): two hyphae fuse and then produce and scatter genetically diverse spores
