The document discusses how biologists classify animals. It describes the key characteristics used to classify animals, including whether they have specialized tissues, their symmetry (radial or bilateral), the number of germ layers in their embryos, how their gut develops, and their method of growth. The classification system presented divides animals into major groups including sponges, cnidarians, worms, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates based on these characteristics.
2. Learning objectives
1. Describe the characteristics common to all fungi
2. Understand why fungi are not classified as multicellular
heterotrophs.
3. Explain the role of fungi as decomposers.
4. Identify symbiotic relationships that exist between fungi and
other organisms.

Basidiomycota
• ~30,000 species
• Basidiospores on basidia
• Mushrooms, stinkhorns, puffballs
• Ectomycorrhizae, some lichens
Ascomycetes
• ~50,000 species
• Ascospores inside ascus
• Asexual reproduction common
• Ectomycorrhizae, most lichens
• Many plant pathogens, truffles, morels, most yeasts, Penicillium
Glomeromycetes
• ~200 species
• No sexual spores; large asexual spores
• Most are obligate mutualists with land plants
• Arbuscular mycorrhizae
Zygomycetes
• ~1,000 species; paraphyletic group
• Zygospores
• Black bread mold
• Asexual reproduction more common than sexual reproduction
• Decomposers and parasites
Chytridiomycetes
• ~1,000 species; paraphyletic group
• Spores have single flagellum
• Mostly aquatic
• Decomposers and parasites on many organisms,
including amphibians

41. Germ layers: two or three

All animal tissues develop from different
layers of embryos.
Some embryos form tissues from two layers.
Others form tissues from three layers.
