Journal Reflection [ WEEK 11 ]

Wednesday, 13th May 2015

okayyy, in our lecture , we discussed on Fungi and Mashi's group was the one which presented on this subtopic.  so, the general characteristics of fungus:


  • eucaryotic
  • spore-bearing organisms
  • no chlrophyl
  • reproduce sexually and asexually 
  • absorptive nutrition
So, basically we called the body or vegetative structure of fungus =  THALLUS

THALLUS- single cell/ multicellular

Other speciality of fungus is its cell wall. Normally, the kingdom of plantae or algae have cellulose as their cell wall. But, the cell wall of fungi is made up CHITIN. This type of cell wall adds rigidity and structural support. They are so interesting, aint they?

I'm not going to write all the notes, but I will attach here a video that Ive watched about Fungi.


so, here are the extra information that I obtained from the lecture :)



  • The disease that caused by fungi is called "Mycosis"
  • Spore that produced by the fungi can be transmitted into the air. as we inhale,  our lung will be infected by this spore.
  • The most studied enzymme is B-glucan.
  • Tuberculosis is caused by the fungi-bacteria called "Mycobacterium tuberculosis"
  • Fungi reproduce asexually by budding. fragmentation and sporulation
  • There are five dividon in fungi. They are : Zygomycota, ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota and Deuteromycota.
  • Antifungal agent can produced from fungi or bacteria
  • Deuteromycota is the type of fungi that are lack of sexual reproduction.
  • The treatment that used fungi to treat pollution is called Mycoremediation

Today is our replacement class held at DKU at 4pm-6pm. I really dont like when we have our replacement class at evening. but, we've got no time anymore, right. dr. Wan entered the hall with her cherishness. Once she spoke up using the mike, we cant see her face. So,  she need to step on a stage. Dr. Wan is so cutee. (^.^)

So, the group who did not present their subtopic yet presented their part. They were Protozoa and we end it with Virus.

As, I mentioned before that i didnt like when the lecture is in the evening, so, I was spaced out going to elsewhere. What Ive just chotted down are :

  • phagocytosis is the process where phagocyte engulf pathogen.
  • pinocytosis is the process where phagocyte engulf the droplet of liqiud.

Hahaha. Im sorry Dr. Wan. I will look on the lecture notes once again, okay ?


That's all !
