Multipolar neurons are neurons that have one axon and many dendrites. These dendrites or multi-processes give the neuron many connection points to other neurons.

Fungi have 4 types of distinctive reproductive structures-once used to distinguish 4 phyla: -Chytridiomycota have spores and gametes with flagella-these are the only motile fungal cells-Zygomycota have zygosporangia, formed when cells from two yoke-together haploid hyphae fuse.
Some fungi grow exclusively or mostly as yeasts, defined as single-celled fungi that reproduce by budding or fission. In contrast to apical growth that is characteristic of hyphae, yeasts exhibit wall growth over the entire cell surface, often resulting in a nearly spherical cell (Fig. 15).ungi are heterotrophs and, like animals, obtain their carbon and energy from other organisms. Some fungi obtain their nutrients from a living host (plant or animal) and are called biotrophs; others obtain their nutrients from dead plants or animals and are called saprotrophs (saprophytes, saprobes).
