What are the characteristics of Kingdom Monera?

Answer 1

Characteristics of the Fungi

We never eat bread cookies

For cookies have yeast,

And one little bite

Turns a man to a beast

O, can you imagine

A sadder disgrace

Than a man in the gutter

With crumbs on his face?

-- Song of the Salvation Army (trad.)

So, what about all those characteristics mentioned in the last section? The following is a list of the most commonly cited characters shared by most Fungi:

• The Fungi are eukayotes, which may exist in nature as either single and multi-celled organisms, or in both at different points in the the life cycle.
• Fungi are avascular -- no specialized respiratory, digestive or transport systems beyond the hyphae themselves.
• Most fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae. A connected mass of hyphae is a mycelium.
• Fungi have a vegetative body called a thallus, composed of hyphae.
• The walls of hyphae are often reinforced with chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine.
• Fungal cell membranes contain ergosterol, rather than cholesterol.
• The Fungi have a unique biosynthetic pathway for lysine.
• Fungi produce a unique form of tubulin in connection with nuclear division.
• Fungi have small nuclei with very little repetitive DNA
• Mitosis occcurs without dissolution of the nuclear membrane.
• Fungi are never autotrophs. No fungus has chlorophyll or chloroplasts.
• Fungi are usually found either as opportunistic saprophytes (living on dead organic matter) or in some parasitic or symbiotic relationship with plants or other autotroph.
• Fungi digest food outside their bodies: they release enzymes into the surrounding environment (exoenzymes), breaking down organic matter into a form the fungus can absorb
• food reserves stores as glycogen (like animals), not starch (like plants).
• Fungi reproduce by means of spores, budding, or fragmentation.
• Spores may be either sexual or aesexual.
• Spores may be used as a dormant, resting phase, like bacterial spores
