KINGDOM FUNGI

B) Kingdom Fungi

This kingdom consists of fungi. They are heterotrophic. Fungi get nutrients in a unique way.

They do not ingest food like animals and some protists. They absorb food from decaying matter present in their surroundings.

"Some fungi are used in the production of bread, cheese and beer. An antibiotic, called penicillin, is derived from the fungus penicillin."

Fungi are eukaryotic and have cell wall around their cells. Their cell wall is made of chitin (a polysaccharide).

Multicellular:

Most of the fungi are multicellular.

Example: Mushroom, rust, smuts and molds.

Unicellular:

They have unicellular are the fungi that have only one cell.

Example: Yeast.
