fungi, protist, bacteria

• fungi were thought to be plants because they do not exhibit locomotion and their appreance resemble plants
• fungi cannot produce their own food using photosynthesis because they do not contain chlorophyll in their cell
• most of them get their food from decaying organisms that is why they are called - saprohytes
• a good example of parasitic fungus is - athlete's foot or alipunga
• athlete's foot an infection caused by a fungus called - trichophyton rubrum
• some of the organisms can live in very harsh environments and can produce their own food using - chemicals
• the common examples of fungi that we know are the - mushroom, yeasts, molds, mildew
• their structures are composed of a network of threadlike filaments called - hyphae that form a mass called - mycelium
• fungi - play an important role in the decomposition of organisms and the cycle of nutrients
• fungi - are also a source of food for woms and small insects
• fungi - are eaten by humans
• edible mushrooms - are commonly used in many dishes
• yeast - is used for making bread
• protists - are unicellular organisms that do not fit into any kingdom classification
• protists - they are just classified as plant-like, animal-like, fungus-like
• dinoflagellates - cause red tide that could affect the mussel's marketability
