Imperfect Fungi
Evolutionary Milestones
Fungi are eukaryotic, like protists.
Habitat
Imperfect fungi live in warm, damp places as long as there is a food source.
Anatomical/Structural Features
Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular, and they are larger than bacteria. They have a nucleus and chitin in their cell walls. They do not have any chlorophyll. They are filamentous (filled with tube-like strands call hyphae).
Symmetry
Fungi do not have symmetry.
How They Acquire Nutrients
Imperfect fungi are heterotrophic.
What They Eat
There was no found information on what imperfect molds eat.
What Eats Them
Imperfect molds are eaten by mammals.
Mobility
Fungi are sessile (cannot move during any part of their life cycle).
Reproduction
Imperfect fungi seldom or never reproduce sexually; instead, they use asexual reproduction by vegetative growth and production of asexual spores
Development
Imperfect fungi are placed into this group because scientists out their developmental stages.
Examples
Some examples of imperfect fungi include penicullium and aspergillus.
