1. CHARACTERISTIC OF FUNGI
a. Eucaryotic
b. Have a cell wall composed of chitin
c. Lack of chlorophyll
d. Most are multicellular
2. STRUCTURE of FUNGI
Filamentous multicellular fungi are composed of long cells
called hyphae.
In some species, hyphae have a partition or internal cross
wall that borders each neighboring cell called septum .
Hyphae that lack of septum called coenocytic hyphae.
3. LIFE CYCLE OF FUNGI
All fungi are heterotrophic. They life by absorbing
organic materials from their environment.
a. Saprophytes
Fungi which is saprophytic obtain their organic food
from the remains or living organisms or dead matter
such as manure, leaves, and etc.
b. Parasites
Parasitic fungi obtain organic substances from other
living organisms. These fungi are detrimental to their
hosts because they generally cause diseases.
c. Mutual Symbiotics
Mutual fungi live in mutualism with their host, for
example lichens and mycorrhiza.
4. HABITAT OF FUNGI
Fungi live on diverse regions, mostly on damp terrestrial
place. However there are a lot of fungi that also live on the
remains of aquatic organisms, both freshwater or marine.
5. REPRODUCTION of FUNGI
Fungi reproduction is done:
Asexually
- unicellular : budding and fragmentation
- multicellular : spore (sporangiospore/canidiospore)
Sexually
-sexual spore :
zigospore, ascospore, or basidiospore
6. CLASSIFICATION of FUNGI
a) Zygomycota
Have you ever see a moldy bread? The mold on the
bread is a type of fungi from the group of Zygomycota.
Body structure
The body of Zygomycota is composed of hyphae that
lack of septum. Sporangium is the structure that
produces vegetative spores. Sexual reproduction
produces thick-walled and black zygosporangium.
Zygomycota do not have fruiting bodies.
Habitat
Zygomycota mostly live as a saprophytes on terrestrial
regions, food, or remains of living organisms. Some are
also found living as a parasites that cause diseases in
humans and plants.
