Fungi/Protists

Fungi are mainly responsible for:

• decomposition

• photosynthesis

• absorbing carbon dioxide

• chemosynthesis

A lichen is a actually a symbiotic relationship between a:

• fungus and animal

• fungus and algae

• algae and protist

Fungi cell walls are made of:

• cellulose

• chitin

• lipids

• protein

Fungi digest their food:

• intracellularly

• extracellularly

• both intra and extracellularly

Fungi reproduce:

• Sexually

• Asexually

• Both asexually and sexually

Are fungi motile?

• Yes

• No

The function of the above-ground portion of a mushroom is:

• to protect the organism

• to provide a place to store food

• to spread spores

• to provide surface area to absorb sunlight

Why do fungi naturally make antibiotics?

• so they can occupy the same niche as bacteria

• so they can use bacteria as a food source

• to digest their food more easily

• to outcompete bacteria for food

Why most fungi live in moist places?

• Their cells would otherwise dry up

• They can only absorb nutrients that have been dissolved in water

• They need the water to spread their spores

• They feed on aquatic organisms

These protists ingest or absorb organisms for food after capturing it

• Fungus-like 
• Plant-like
• Animal-like
• Autotrophic
