morphology, reproduction, life cycles. (Words to use in your answer include chitin, cellulose, peptidoglycan,
pseudopeptidoglycan, ergosterol, hopanoids, cholesterol, mycelium, hayphae, multinucleate, multicellular, unicellular,
nutritional needs, environmental needs, chemoheterotrophy, saprobes, parasites, free-living, reproductive strategies,
spores)
