Fungi Kingdom Fungi includes organisms such as yeast, molds, and mushrooms. There are three main ways that fungi obtain energy: _________________________: Fungi get their energy from __________________ organic matter. For example: old bread, dead trees, etc. _________________________: Fungi that feed on other living organisms (host) and ____________________ the host. (cordyceps) (athlete’s foot) ______________________________: Fungi that feed on other living organisms (host) but ___________________________ the host. In many cases, the host benefits from the fungi. (Ex: obtaining sugar from plants and in exchange, making way for water and nutrients to easily enter the plant’s roots). Structure of the Mushroom Fungi respond to __________________: Their caps and stalks will grow in the direction of light. ____________________ is the way an organism responds to light. Hyphae will grow away from gravity. This is known as ____________________ and is the way an organism grows or moves in response to gravity. However, when fungal species mature, they tend to display _________________________________ (grow in the opposite direction of gravity). Because fungi do not have roots, they use ___________________. Hyphae are long fibrous strands that allow the fungus to obtain _________________ and nutrients. The hyphae will grow toward a food source, water, or even toward the reproductive parts of other fungi known as ____________________. A group of hyphae underground is known as a _________________________.Photosynthesis, Respiration, Transpiration Photosynthesis: The process by which a plant makes its _____________ and ______________. ___________ is taken up through the plant’s roots and travels up the stem through the _____________.___________ from the sun is absorbed into ________________of the leaf.
