They get their energy and the chemicals they need by growing on a source of food. They release chemicals that digest the substance on which they grow and then absorb the nutrients from from the digested food. They grow in moist,warm places such as moist food,damp tree barks,lawns coated with dew,damp forest floors,and even wet bathroom tiles. They obtain their food from the remains of dead organisms. 1.They feed by absorbing their food. 2.They use spores to reproduce. Are made up of long threadlike structures. Hyphae branch and twist together in many ways,making the fungi appear in various shapes. Are continous thread of fungal hyphae. It is the living material inside a cell that contains many nuclei. Is a structural layer surrounding some types of cells,just outside the cell membrane. It can be tough,flexible,and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection,and also acts as a filtering mechanism and the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan. Is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane,it contains the majority of the cell’s genetic material. This material is organized as dna molecules,along with chromosomes. Are so small and light that they can be carried winds to great distances. If it is lands on a place where living conditions are favorable,then it can sprout and develop hyphae. They are shaped like umbrellas. Is the fleshy,spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus,typically produced above ground on soil or on its food source. Itis on the top of the stalk. Itis the thin sheets of tissue which extend from the stalk to the outer edge of the cap. The stalk decorated with a structure called ring,which resembles a very short skirt. Itis a stemlike structure in a mushroom. It is fungus consisting of a single cell. Are very useful in the production of bread,vitamins,and evn vaccines like the vaccine for hepatitis B. Bakers add yeast to the dough or the mixture of flour,water,sugar,salt,and other ingredients. Itis a portion of a matured yeast cell springs from the cell wall and forms a tiny bud . Are used in food processing. Tofu or bean curd,soy beans,and cheese are just some of the many processed foods that use molds. A scottish scientist,found out why this treatment worked. He discovered that the mold PENICILLIUM produces a substance that kill certain infection-causing bacteria. He called the substance PENICILLIN. Since its discovery,penicilin has helped save million of lives.
