24
Q

draw a diagram of a fungi

A

should include:
nucleus
cell wall
membrane
ER
ribosomes
mitochondria
golgi body
glycogen granule

25
Q

fungi cell wall is make of

A

chitin

26
Q

fungi reproduces

A

by spores

27
Q

what does heterotrophic mean

A

obtains nutrients by consuming others

28
Q

what is the glycogen granule

A

glycogen is a carbohydrate used for energy storage

29
Q

what is the root system of a fungi

A
  • mycelium
  • individual stands are called hyphae
30
Q

facts about fungi

A
  • cause diseases
  • some are poisonous
  • used for food (yeast, beer)
  • used in biotechnology
31
Q

what are the two types of decomposers

A

detritivores: decomposers that ingest dead organic materials
saprotrophs: decomposers that secrete digestive enzymes into organic matter and absorb the nutrients

32
Q

difference between dicots and monocots

A

dicots:
- 2 cotyledons
- stems are organised vascular bundles
- leaves are variegated (branched veins)
- 4/5 petals multiples
monocots:
- 1 cotyledon
- stems are random vascular bundles
- leaves are parallel
- multiples of three

33
