CLS 212: Medical . Microbiology. Mycology: the study of fungi. Characteristics of fungi. :. All fungi are Eukaryotic organisms. Characteristics. Prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cell. Nucleus. Primitve nucleous. You are presented with several single-celled organisms, including one thought to belong to the kingdom Fungi. What unique feature helps you identify the fungus?. presence of mitochondria. absence of chloroplasts. List three diseases you know something about. What are the effects of these diseases?. Essential Question. How do disease-causing fungi effect plants?. ?. Fungi:. One of the five kingdoms of organisms.. -. the study of fungi. fungi - . singular. fungus - . plural. 1) Fungi are . eukaryotic. they have a nuclei & mitochondria. 2) They are . heterotrophs. they depend on other organisms for food. 3) They are . Introduction . Mycology. All fungi are . Eukaryotic. . organisms living everywhere on earth. .. Fungi are. . Heterotrophic. . i.e.. depend on other organism for food and are. . different from plants which are. Introduction. Fungi . can be isolated from virtually any place on earth, from the tropics to the poles and from the mountain tops to the deep . oceans.. As we know fungi are present in air in spore shape but sometimes we find hyphae in air.. Fungi secrete hydrolytic enzymes, digest food outside their bodies, and absorb small molecules.. Structure of Fungi. Cell walls are made of chitin. Bodies are composed of filaments called hyphae that are entwined to form a mass, the mycelium.. 8.5. Fungi. (Decomposing a fallen tree.). Cell walls composed of Chitin sugar.. Mycorrhizae covering a root . Fungal Structure. Fungal Classification . (Based on sexual reproductive structure.). Chytridomycota – Chytrid below. Please sit down if you:. Are taller than 5’9”. Have blonde Hair . Have brown Eyes. Are left-Handed. Why Classify?. To study the diversity of life, biologists use a . classification . system to name organisms and group them in a logical manner. Standards. GSE S7L1: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically.. GSE 7L1b: Evaluate historical models of how organisms were classified based on physical characteristics how that led to the six-kingdom system (currently archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals). encouraged to consult any of a number of comprehensive texts [7,8]The exact order of divergence in deep regions of the eukaryotic tree is controversial. On the lineage that leads to the Fungi there ar Overview of fungi - Characteristics. Fungi are :. Eukaryotic. Nonphotosynthetic. Multicellular - most. Heterotrophs. Fungi are microscopic molds or yeast. Characteristics . Molds. are fungus that grow on bread and oranges and are tangled masses of filaments of cells. (1973). Fungal Classification. Initial classification – based on sexual reproduction. Modern classification-phylogenetic relationship using biochemical and molecular aspects. Whittaker (1969) – 5 kingdom classification- kingdom fungi.. They classified according to their. structure . and. method of reproduction. . into :. 1- Basidiomycota (Club fungi). The umbrella- shaped mushroom are the most familiar fungi.. The visible mushroom is a fruiting body. .
