1
Kingdom Fungi
2
Targets 1. Describe the basic structure of fungi. 2. Explain the function of spores in fungal reproduction. 3. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the Kingdom Fungi.
3
What are the characteristics of Fungi? Eukaryotic Unicellular and Multicellular Heterotrophic Non-motile Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
4
What structures make up Fungi? Mycelium- Interwoven mat of hyphae, used for feeding Hyphae- threads of cytoplasm covered by a cell wall
5
How are Fungi classified? Fungi are classified by how they reproduce. Main reproductive structure- THE SPORE
6
What is a spore? Spore: single cells with thick cell walls Thick cell walls protect them during unfavorable conditions and for long periods of time. They are transported by wind, water or animals.
7
What are the 4 types of fungi? 1. Zygote Fungi 2. Sac Fungi 3. Club Fungi 4. Yeasts *The four types categorized by the location of the spore.
8
Zygote Fungi Zygote Fungi Habitat: Live in soil or on decaying plant or animal material Reproductive structure: sporangia (holds spores on long thin filaments) Examples: Bread mold
9
Zygote Fungi
10
Sac Fungi Habitat: Live in aquatic or terrestrial environments Reproductive structure: ascus (tube that holds the spores) Examples: Morels (edible fungus), penicillium ( source of penicillin), cheese
11
Sac Fungi
12
Club Fungi Habitat: Found on dead and decaying plant matter Reproductive structure: basidia (spores held in folds under cap) Examples: Mushrooms (both edible and poisonous)
13
Club Fungi
14
Yeasts- Unicellular Fungi Habitat: Live in liquid or moist places Reproductive structure: since they are unicellular, they are a spore Examples: Baker’s Yeast (a type of sac fungi)
15
Wrap-Up 1. Describe the basic structure of fungi. 2. Explain the function of spores in fungal reproduction. 3. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the Kingdom Fungi.
