Fungi Kingdom Characteristics Eukaryotic Multi-cellular Heterotrophic Sessile Saprobes or Parasites Reproduce by Spores Zygomycetes (simple fungi) Ascomycetes (sac fungi) Basidioimycetes (club fungi) Deuteromycetes (imperfect fungi) No cell wall structure in hyphae Many are disease causing parasites, they are, Ringworm, Athlete’s foot, and Saprobes live on bread and cheese Ascomycetes Spores contained in ascus (sac like structure on mycellium) Yeasts are single cell ascomycetes Morel mushrooms and mildews are saprobes Basidiomycetes Common mushroom types Most are saprobes Body composed of cap, gills, stem, and hyphae Rusts and smuts are parasitic Fungi Deuteromycetes Called imperfect because no sexual reproduction has been identified Penicillium is a saprobe Aspergillis is clothing mold and ear infection mold Lichens Symbiotic relationship Fungi and Algae live together Both organisms benefit Plantae Kingdom Plantae Autotrophic Eukaryotic Photosynthetic Multicellular Plant Evolution First plants developed during the Precambrian Era. Evolved from blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) First Land plants arose about 400 million years ago during the middle Paleozoic Era. First seed bearing plants appeared about 350 million years ago Flowering plants did not develop until the middle of the Mesozoic at about 130 million years ago Plant Phyla Bryophyte Pterophyta Coniferophyta Anthophyta Monocots Dicots Bryophyta No roots, no seeds, no flowers, no vascular tissue Mosses Pterophyta Vascular systems, spores for reproduction Ferns Coniferophyta Seeds in cones, needles or scales, no flowers Cedars, pines, firs Anthophyta Flowers, seeds, fruits Monocots One leaf in embryo, parallel veins in leaves, flowers in multiples of 3’s Grasses, corn, lilies, orchids Dicots 2 leaves in embryo, branched veins in leaves, flowers in multiples of 4 & 5 Deciduous trees, most garden ‘vegetables’ Monocots & Dicots Seeds Monocots have one embryo leaf in the seed Dicots have two embryo leaves in the seed Flowers Monocots have flowers arranged in whorls of 3 Dicots have flowers arranged in whorls of 4 and 5 Leaves Monocots have leaves that show parallel veination Dicots have leaves with netted veination Vascular Tissue Vascular tissue is either Xylem or Phloem.
