What are characteristics of the kingdom monera?

• Answer:

  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
