    Study Notes

    Fungi Characteristics

    • Fungi acquire their food by decomposing organic matter and absorbing nutrients.
    • A characteristic that distinguishes fungi from plants, bacteria, and some protists is their mode of nutrition, which is based on absorption.
    • The principal role of fungi in ecological systems is decomposition, facilitating the release of nutrients for other organisms.

    Fungi Characteristics (Exceptions)

    • Fungi do not have the characteristic of producing their own food through photosynthesis.

    Kingdom Classification

    • Fungi belong to the kingdom Fungi.

    Reproduction Strategies

    • Fish and frogs produce a huge number of eggs each year as a strategy to compensate for the high mortality rate of their larvae.

    Fertilization Modes

    • External fertilization is the process of fertilization that occurs outside the body of an organism.

    Plant Propagation

    • Grafting is a method of plant propagation where a piece of stem (scion) is attached to the root system of another plant (stock).
    • Layering is a method of plant propagation where a stem is bent down to touch the ground and rooted.

    Fertilization in Plants

    • The mode of fertilization in plants is internal, occurring within the plant's reproductive structures.

    Asexual Reproduction

    • Different modes of asexual reproduction include fission, fragmentation, budding, and vegetative propagation.
