Sac Fungi
Habitat:
Almost anywhere
Reproduction:
Asexual and sexual
Anatomical Features:
- Hyphae
- Chitin in cell walls
- Contains cytoplasm and nucleus
- Grow quickly
- Diverse form in growth and fruiting structures
- Often sac-shaped where spores are produced
Evolutionary Milestones:
*Being Eukaryotic is sometimes considered a developmental milestone*
Predators/Prey:
- Decomposers and pathogens
Prey can include almost any organism from plants to different mammals (although fungi do not actually move to harm us, they can harm us and use us as sources of energy). Predators of fungi can include other fungi and bacteria
Symmetry:
Asymmetry, radial, bilateral
Mobility:
No movement (non-motile)
Development:
Dependent upon species
