PLANTS, ANIMALS AND FUNGI ARE (…) ORGANISMS
EUKARYOTIC
WHAT IS A PLANT DESCRIPTION
1) THEY ARE MULTICELLULAR
2) THEY HAVE CHLOROPLASTS (THEY CAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS)
3) THEIR CELLS HAVE CELL WALLS (MADE OF CELLULOSE)
4) THEY STORE CARBOHYDRATES AS SUCROSE OR STARCH
ANIMALS DESCRIPTION
1) THEY ARE MULTICELLULAR
2) DONT HAVE CHLOROPLAST CANT PHOTOSYNTHESISE
3) THEIR CELLS DONT HAVE A CELL WALL
4) HAVE SOME KIND OF NERVOUS COORDINATION (CAN RESPMOND RAPIDLY TO CHANGES ENVIRONMENT)
6) THEY OFTER STORE CARBOHYDRATES IN A FORM OF GLYCOGEN
FUNGI DESCRIPTION
1) SOME ARE SINGLE-CELLED
2) OTHERS HAVE A MYCELIUM BODY
3) THEY CANT PHOTOSYNTHESIS
4) THEIR CELLS HAVE CELL WALLS MADE OF CHITIN
5) MOST FEED UP SAPROTROPHIC NUTRITION
6) THEY CAN STORE CARBOHYDRATES AS GLYCOGEN
WHAT IS A MYCELIUM BODY
IT IS MADE UP OF HYPHAE (THREAD-LIKE STRUCTURES)
WHAT DOES THE HYPHAE CONTAIN
LOTS OF NUCLEI
WHAT IS SAPROTROPHIC NUTRITION
THEY SACRETE EXTRACELLULAR ENZYMES INTO THE AREA OUTSIDE THEIR BODY TO DISSOLVE THEIR FOOD, SO THEY CAN THAN ABSORB THE NUTRIENTS
