General Characteristics of a Fungi (5)
- Eukaryotic
- Filamentous and unicellular)
- All are chemoheterotrophic
- Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
- Contains a rigid wall (chitin) that is 80-90% polysaccharide
microscopic, filamentous structures that make up the body of multicellular fungi w apical growth
Hyphae
Mass of Hyphae
Mycelium
Are all fungi achlorophyllous?
no chlorophyll
yes
Are all fungi saprophytic?
lives off decaying matter
yes
body/soma of fungi
Thallus
2 types of Hyphae based on septation
Septate - w/ crosswalks/septa along hypha
Aseptate - or COENOCYTIC (lacks septa)
4 types of Hyphae based on function
