  1. General Characteristics of Fungi
    • Eukaryotic
    • Most are mulitcellular (except yeast)
    • Heterotrophic (nutrients via hydrolytic enzymes)
    • Roles: Saprophytic, parasitic, mutualistic, or predaceous
    • Cell walls made of Chitin
  2. Chitin
    Cell wall material in fungi
  3. Hyphae
    Thread like, grows into a mass of mycelium
  4. Septate fungi

    • parasites on animals
  12. Glomereomycetes:
    • (arbuscular mychorrhizal fungi)-lives in harmony
