parasitic in nature

Answer 2

here's your answer _______⭐⭐

❄NUTRITION In FUNGI :--
=========================

☆ALL fungi are CHEMOHETEROTROPHIC (chemo- organotrophic) - synthesising the organic compounds they need for growth and energy from pre-existing organic sources in their environment, using the energy from chemical reactions.

☆They lack chlorophyll pigments and are incapable of photosynthesis.

☆ Fungi absorb their food, rather than ingesting it as their protoplasm is surrounded by rigid wall.

☆SMALL MOLECULES (e.g. simple sugars, amino acids) in solution can be absorbed directly across the fungal wall and plasma membrane.

⭐Process of Nutrition:--
=======================

● As matter decomposes within a medium in which a - Proteins are broken down into their amino acid composites


●fatty saprotroph is residing, the saprotroph breaks such matter down into its composites. through the breaking of peptide bonds by proteases.

●Lipids are broken down into acids and glycerol by lipases.

● starch is broken down into pieces of simple disaccharides by amylases.


●These products are re-absorbed into the hypha through the cell wall via endocytosis and passed on throughout the mycelium complex.

●This facilitates the passage of such materials throughout the organism and allows for growth and, if necessary, repair.
