Document Summary
Harvest light or chemical energy and store it in complex. Get complex nutrients from the environment (eating other carbon compounds. Can be parasitic (feeds on living host) or predatory (feeds on prey that it kills) Extends fungal branches (hyphae) into the living cells of the foot to absorb nutrients (extracellularly) Hyphae have sticky knobs that can hold nematode worms. Hyphae penetrate the worm"s body and digestive enzymes released to digest extracellularly. Makes traps out of lassoes to capture nematode worms for hyphae to penetrate (use gene regglation, only make lassoes when nematodes are nearby) Streptococcus: responsible for us getting pneumonia, covered with glycoproteins (make them slippery) therefore can"t be consumed by white blood cells via white blood cells. So have to make antibodies to grasp" them but that takes a while. Produce amylase: hydrolyzes starch to create maltose (2 glucose units, works at a ph of 7 and temperature of the mouth (inactivated in stomach, why we chew food)
