1. FUNGI
Compare and contrast the parts of plants, animals and one-celled organisms
Identify similarities and differences among living organisms

2. Vocabulary
Decomposer – breaks down dead plant and animal material for nutrients
Host – the organism that is harmed by a parasite
Hyphae – thread-like structures of a fungus
Parasite – an organism that lives off of another organism (host) and causes it harm
Spore – reproductive cells of a fungus

3. Nutrition All are ___________ ( cannot make their own food)
Some are parasites
Many are _________ ( feed off of dead organisms)
Heterotrophs
Decomposers

4. Structure A few are ____________, such as yeast
Most are multicellular, such as molds and _______________.
Multicellular fungi are made up of thread-like structures called___________.
Unicellular
Mushrooms
Hyphae

5. Reproduction
Reproduce by tiny reproductive cells called________________.
Spores are produced in the ___________ ____________________.
Spores can be carried distances by the _______________.
Sporulation: kind of asexual reproduction in which a new organism forms from spores released by the parent
Spores
Spore Case
(Fruting Body)
Wind

6. Types YEASTS CO2 gas from fermentation trapped in the dough
Unicellular
Reproduce by budding
Anaerobic respiration (fermentation): Process by which a cell releases energy from food without using oxygen (yeast). By products are CO2 & alcohol.
Yeasts are used in making bread, wine, beer and solvents.
Why does bread dough rise?
Kind of asexual reproduction in which a new organism forms from a bud on a parent
CO2 gas from fermentation trapped in the dough

7. Yeast

8. Types MOLDS Grow on the ___________of objects
Hyphae appear_________________________
_________________________
Spores _________ out of the fruiting body
Surface
Thread like and like tangled cotton
Burst
Causing it to spread more

9. MOLD

10. The best known of this phylum of around 600 species is black bread mold, such as Rhizopus stolonifer.

11. Types Mushroom Shaped like_________________________
Fruiting body is known as the __________________________
Spores_______________from the cap causing mushrooms to grow in _______________
An umbrella
Cap (Fruiting Body)
Fall
Colonies

12. Mushroom
Gills
Cap (Fruiting Body)
Stalk
Spores
Hyphae

13. Why would mold spread more and faster than mushrooms?
Mushroom spores drop to the ground from the cap
Mold spores burst out of the fruiting body into the air
How are the hyphae of mold and mushrooms different?
Mold’s hyphae are visable on the surface of objects
Mushroom’s hyphae are not visable because it is underground

14. Fungi

15. Plant and Animal diseases
Humans:
ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases are caused by fungi.
difficult to treat.
Plant:
caused by fungi include rusts, smuts, and leaf, root, and stem rots, and may cause severe damage to crops.

16. Helpful uses
Drugs made from fungi cure diseases and stop the rejection of transplanted hearts and other organs.
Fungi are also grown in large vats to produce flavorings for cooking, vitamins and enzymes for removing stains.
Bread, cheese, yogurt

17. 6th Grade Review Gravity
The closer objects are the stronger the pull of gravity
The farther objects are the weaker the pull of gravity
The larger objects are the stronger the pull of gravity
The smaller objects are the weaker the pull of gravity
