Culinary. Several Salvia species are used in recipes around the world. In addition to the common Salvia officinalis, some people favor a tri-color variety, a purple sage or a golden variety of culinary sage for their beauty and good taste.
Animals, plants, fungi, protozoans, and algae all possess eukaryotic cell types. Only bacteria have prokaryotic cell types. Prokaryotic cells are generally much smaller and more simple than eukaryotic (see Fig. 1). Prokaryotic cells are, in fact, able to be structurally more simple because of their small size.
The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology, which is often regarded as a branch of botany, even though genetic studies have shown that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. Pathogenic fungi are fungi that cause disease in humans or other organisms.The study of pathogenic fungi is referred to as medical mycology. Although fungi are eukaryotic organisms, many pathogenic fungi are also microorganisms.Figure 1. A budding yeast: the Circular bud scars seen on the surface of the cell on the right represent sites of previous budding.ungi are classified as a kingdom that is separate from plants, animals, and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose.
