35
Q

What characteristics do Fungi have that make them different than plants animals and bacteria

A
  1. Unlike bacterial fungi cells are eukaryotic (DNA of the cell is in the nucleus)
  2. Unlike plants, fungi cell wall is made of chitin vs plants cell walls are made of cellulose
  3. Unlike animals, fungi are sessile, meaning they cannot travel from place to place to find food. Fungi are heterotrophs bc absorb organic material from energy ex: feeding off of organisms (parasitic) or saprophytic (obtain energy from decomposing material like rotting wood or dead animals.
36
Q

Name 3 types of Fungi

A

Mushrooms, mold and yeast

37
Q

Difference between Aerobic and anaerobic respiration

A

Aerobic takes place in the presence of oxygen (more efficient) and anaerobic takes place wo oxygen (less efficient)
