Fungi Basics
What is the kingdom fungi?
This kingdom of eucaryotic organisms includes mushrooms, yeast, and mold
Organisms lichens are made of
Alga and fungus
Cells with a nucleus are called…
eucaryotes
This process is how plants and algae make food
photosynthesis
Fungi often grow in these conditions
warm and wet/humid
Fungi do NOT make food. What do they do instead?
They absorb digested food, they are heterotrophs (saprotrophs)
Lichen is an example of relationship between 2 organism called...
symbiosis
Bacteria are this type of cell
Procaryotic
Name everything needed for the photosynthesis
carbon dioxide, water, sunlight
Lichens can grow on this
rocks and trees
How is fungal body organised
It is formed by hyphae which are tiny strings made of fungal cells. These cells often have two nuclei, the whole body is called mycelium
Describe how lichen gets food (organic substances)
The alga photosynthesizes and makes its own food
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are found only in (type of cell)
Eucaryotic
Fungi help nature by doing this to dead things
decomposition (разложение)
The photosynthesis usually happens in... (part of the plant)
leaf
Describe how fungi reproduce
Fungi reproduce by spores, which are special structures formed on the fruiting bodies and on the special hyphae in mold
Describe the role of the fungus in lichen
Water absorption, protection
This types of cell cannot form multicellular organism
Procaryotic
Fungi get food by…
Some fungi are useful because they help make this food
cheese, bread
Describe a fungal cell
Fungal cells are eucaryotic, meaning they have a nucleus, they have a cell wall made of chitin, and they do not have chloroplasts
What places can lichen live in and why?
Trees, rocks etc, they do not need soil, because fungi absorb water from the air and attache to different surfaces
Name all the kingdoms belonging to eucaryotes and procaryotes
Eucaryotes: Animals, Plants, Fungi; Procaryotes: Bacteria
glucose and oxygen
Lichens can show this about the environment
If it is clean or not
