Science © 2008 Marshall Cavendish (Singapore) Private Limited Some characteristics of fungi • What do different types of fungi look like? o o Some fungi, like yeast, are too small to see with the naked eye. You can see them with the help of a microscope. Living things that can only be seen using a microscope are called micro-organisms. yeast My Pals are Here! Science © 2008 Marshall Cavendish (Singapore) Private Limited Characteristics of fungi • How do fungi obtain food? Since fungi are not plants, they cannot make their own food. o They feed on plants and animals, which can be dead or alive. o mushrooms growing and feeding on wood My Pals are Here! Science © 2008 Marshall Cavendish (Singapore) Private Limited Characteristics of fungi • How do fungi reproduce? Fungi reproduce through spores. o Spores are very small and light. They look like brown dust. o spores in a spore case as seen under a microscope My Pals are Here!
