| heterotroph | Have to eat to get nutrition. Can not make their own food. |
| autotroph | Make their own food, glucose, using the sun's energy. |
| Fungi Kingdom | Eukaryote- have one or more nuclei, heterotroph only, multicellular, (exception is the one celled yeast). Examples: Mold, Mushroom, Yeast, Lichen. |
| External Digestion | When hyphae send out enzymes to decompose organic material and then absorb it up through the same hyphae. |
| Eukaryote | Cell has a nucleus. |
| Prokaryote | Cell has no nucleus. |
| Saprophyte | Organism that decomposes, feeds on, dead material. |
| Parasite | A symbiotic relationship where one organism harms the other one. |
| conjugation | When a cell shares part of its DNA with another cell. This is considered sexual reproduction because you get two unique organisms instead of a clone of itself. |
| Lichen | A mutual , symbiotic, relationship between algae and fungi- hyphae. The fungi provide water and a home for the algae. The Algae provide the food it makes from the sun's energy. |
| antibiotic | Medicine that is made from mold and kills bacteria. |
| root association hyphae | When the hyphae from fungi provide water to a plants roots, and the plants roots provide food to the hyphae of the fungi. |
| spore | One celled reproductive cell - has no food in it- must land on food to survive. Fungi produce spores. Ferns, a primitive plant, produce spores. |
| budding | a form of assexual reproduction of yeast. |
| dormant | A period of time when an organism is inactive. |
| hyphae | branching thread-like tubes or straws, that make up the bodies of fungi. |
| fruiting bodies | the reproductive structure that produces spores. |
| athletes foot, dutch elm disease, corn smut, ring worm | diseases that fungi cause |
| Alexander Fleming | Discovered a mold that kills bacteria. |
| pioneer organism | the organism that will grow first in an environment that has been destroyed by a fire or volcano |
| indicator organism | an organism that is sensitive to pollution. If it dies it indicates that there is too much pollution. |
| foods that are flavored by fungi | beer, wine, cheese, soy sauce |
| fermentation | a process that converts sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol |
| 4 types of fungi | yeast, mold, mushroom, lichen |
| symbiotic relationship | Two organisms living together for a period of time. |
| Mutualism | A symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit. |
| Commensalism | A symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is not affected negatively or positively. |
