The multicellular eukaryotic organisms that feed on dead or decaying organic material
Outline of TodayOutline of Today’’s lectures lecture
� I. Fungi• Key concepts• Representatives• Characteristics• Classification• Roles of fungi
� II. Mitosis & Meiosis
� III. Life cycle : 1. Animal 2. Human 3. Fungi
Key Concepts:Key Concepts:
� Fungi are heterotrophs
� Fungi secrete enzymes that digest food outside
their body, then fungal cells absorb breakdown
products (extra-cellular digestion)
� Fungi do not ingest food and Fungi cannot move
� Most fungi are multicelled
� A portion of the fungal hyphae becomes
modified and forms a reproductive structure
� Many fungi are symbiotic with other organisms

nuclear fusion
After nuclear fusion, the club-
shaped structure (now 2n) will
produce and bear haploid spores
at the four tips of the cell.

After cytoplasmic fusion, a
“dikaryotic” (n + n) mycelium
gives rise to spore-bearing
bodies (e.g., mushrooms).

spore (n)
Spores are released.
Each germinating spore
gives rise to a hypha
that grows and becomes
a branching mycelium.

Roles of Fungi
�Decomposers &
recyclers of nutrients
�Food
�Medicine
The antibiotic
penicillin was
first isolated from
the fungus
Penicillium
�DiseasesCrops, fruits, food

II.II. Mitosis & MeiosisMitosis & Meiosis�Mitosis – A type of eukaryotic cell division, which results two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parental cell.
�Meiosis - A type of eukaryotic cell division,
which results four daughter cells that have
only a half number of the parental cell’s
chromosomes.
Mitosis
Meiosis
III.III. Life CycleLife Cycle
�Life cycle – the events in the life of an organism from one generation to the next.
