I am really clueless....What categorizes Yeast into the Fungi Kingdom?
it is alive.
it grows well in darkness.
it requires moisture.What categorizes Yeast into the Fungi Kingdom?
Yeast are eukaryotes because they have membrane-bound nuclei - therefore, they are not bacteria and don't belong in Monera. They have cell walls (not found in animals or protozoans) that are made of chitin (which distinguishes them from plants). The only remaining kingdom is fungi.
More important than these morphological distinctions is the fact that phylogenetic studies - comparisons of genome sequence between organisms of many species in order to identify evolutionary relationships - place yeast squarely in Kingdom Mycota.
