4. Clarifying ?s Information Page # characteristics Fungi 1. multicellular & unicellular2. heterotrophs 3. eukaryotes4. use spores to reproduce types1. Thread-like (reproduces sexually) Example: bread mold 2. Sac (spores in sac/reproduces sexually) Example: yeast 3. Club (shoots out spores) Examples: mushrooms & puffballs 4. Imperfect (do not reproduce sexually) Examples: antibiotics - penicillin reproduction Asexual reproduction - No spores are produced. The new fungi cell grows within the parent fungi - then breaks away and lives on its own. Sexual reproduction - The hyphae of two fungi grow together and genetic material is exchanged. Spores are produced and develop into new fungi. hyphae- threadlike filament of a fungus foodMost feed on dead or decaying organisms. impactHumans survive due to antibiotics that stop infection. FYI: Penicillin is made from mold, which is a fungi. Summary:
