3. Fungi
Fungi is a group of
simple plants that have no chlorophyll .There are some species of fungi that are single celled organisms, and
there are other kinds of fungi that are multi-cellular organisms. Fungi are
made up of filaments called hyphe that are stacked together from end
to end.
Some kinds of fungi live on land and
other types of fungi live in water environments. Since fungi has no
chlorophyll, it can not make its own food. Some types of fungi lives off of
other organisms and are parasites, but other fungi species feed off
of dead and decaying matter. A third kind of fungi lives
with other organisms and neither the fungi or the organism is hurt. This kind
of relationship is called positive symbiosis .
Fungi can be
found on mouldy bread, rotten food, trees and forest floors. For examples ...
