Document Summary
1993: note: amoebozoa (amoebae, slime molds) are an interesting group, radical: fungi and animals more closely related to one another than either are to plants. Along with the work of woese et al. , put an end to the 5-kingdom classification. 2007 phylogeny and classification: fungi generate soil that gives life swartzberg. Ascus) in the fruiting body, and haploid spores are produced and released from fruiting body: haploid spores disperse in wind, and land in/on substrate. Extra cellular digestion and absorption; fungal secondary metabolites (antibiotics: fungus grows in or penetrates an edible substrate such as bread. It produces/secretes digestive enzymes (light blue arrows), the enzymes break down the organic food source (e. g. starch into glucose) and then the fungus absorbs the nutrients. In many cases, when a fungus is eating, it is decomposing: free living bacteria in the environment also eat the glucose that exoenzymes decomposed.
