Document Summary

Fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. Fungi are made from hyphae - small strands. The mushroom are the reproductive structure, and are also made from hyphae. Hyphae) - microscopic tubular in shape and can be highly branched **picture* Mycelium (pl. mycelia) -aggregation of hyphae -fungus on a bread. Spore lands on bread/cheese, and germinate and make a long tube of hypha, that contains a cell wall, made from chitin. Has cytoplasm, mitochondria, golgi and er, but has no chloroplast because they are heterotrophic. Contain haploid number of chromosomes in the nuclei. The only diploid cell is the zygote in the fungi. May of may not have crosswalls -septum"s in the tube that has an opening in the middle, with nuclei between each crosswall *picture* Septate hyphae (mushrooms and cup fungi) - have cross walls. 2 nuclei per cell wall is dikaryotic -usually heterotrophic. Fungi - heterotrophic - cant make their own food.
