food- mushrooms fermentation - bread, beer decomposes- breakdown dead waste |
|
|

disease causing |
|

yes |
|
|

yeast |
|
|
what is fungi composed of structure wise? |
tubular filaments or threads |
|
|
what is the base mass of fungi called? |
mycelium |
|
|
What are the branches or threads of the mycelium called? |
hyphae |
|
|
What is a septum? |
it separates the hyphae into cells |
|
|
What does the sporangium do? |
produces spores by which fungi reproduces |
|
|
what are the steps of reproduction in fungi? |
1. The Fungi (sporangium) produces spores which are small and light and float through the air 2. The spore then lands on a damp surface 3. landed, the spore bursts open and a thread grows out (the hyphae) 4. The hyphae branches over the surface 5. the branches grow upwards and the tip of the branch developes into a sporangium 6. inside each sporangia, hundreds of spores are formed 7. enventually the spore cases open and the spores are released and the process is repeated |
|
|
pin moulds feed on which two foods? |
bread and jam |
|
|
what do the threads of Fungi produce? |
digestive juices that break down the starch and suagrs |
|
|
Why does fungi grow on the surface of foods? |
It requires oxygen for respiration |
