FUNGI
3 Differences among
Protist Cells
•Animal-like
•Fungus-like
•Plant-like
Animal-like Protists (Protozoans)
*Unicellular
*Heterotrophs
Microscopic
DNA , cytoplasm, vacuole, cell membrane, nucleus (1 or more)
*4 groups based on movement:
flagella (tail), cilia (hair), pseudopods (false
feet) and sporozoans (parasite)
Fungus-like Protists
•
•
•
•
•
Example: mildew
Unicellular
Like animals - heterotrophs
Like plants - cell walls made of cellulose
Reproduce by spores (tiny cells that can
grow into a new organism)
• Not in fungi kingdom because they can
move at one point in their lives.
Plant-like Protists
• Example: algae, giant kelp
• Autotrophs
• Size: microscopic unicellular to very large multicellular
• Like plants - cell walls made of cellulose (sugar)
• Contain different pigments so they come in
different colors.
• Euglena: special type of algae -when there is no
sunlight they become heterotrophic.
Similarities among Protists
• Examples: Ameoba Pseudopdia, Paramecium Cilia, Euglenoid
Flagellum, and Sporozoan Parasite
• All eukaryotes with nuclei (cilia-2 nucleus)
• DNA
• Unicellular or multicellular
• Cytoplasm
• Cell membrane
• Vacuoles
• Ribosomes
• Reproduce by binary fission or congugation.
• no definite shape.
• Live in moist surroundings.
• Autotrophs, heterotrophs, or both.
• Some can move - others cannot.
Fungi Cells
Yeast
Mold
Mushroom
Differences: Four types of Fungi
• Threadlike - produce spores in
their threadlike hyphae (ex.
Bread mold)
• Sac - produce spores in
structures that look like sacs
(ex. Yeast) Since yeast is
unicellular, they reproduce by
budding. A new cell grows
from the origional cell body
then breaks off.
Club - produce
spores in
structures that
look like clubs
(ex. Mushrooms)
Imperfect - those
that cannot
reproduce
sexually (ex.
Penicillin)
Similarities among Fungi
• Eukarayotes
• Multicellular - Except for yeast which is
unicellular
• Nucleus
• DNA
• Cytoplasm
• Cell membrane
• Ribosomes
• Cell walls made of Chitin (sugar)
• Use spores to reproduce
• Hyphae : threadlike tube structure used to get
food, break it down, and absorb it
• Heterotrophs
• Need warm, moist places to grow.
• Examples: mushrooms, molds, and yeast,
ringworm, lichen, athlete’s foot
