Question

From where do saprophytes get their nutrients?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Saprophytes acquire nutrients from dead matter, using enzymes to convert complex organic compounds into simpler forms from which the plant can absorb nutrients. A symbiont experiences a mutually-beneficial arrangement with a plant; both partners contribute necessary nutrients to the other.

Answer 2

Answer:

Saprotrophs feed by a process known as absorptive nutrition, in which the nutritional substrate (e.g., dead organism or other nonliving organic matter) is directly digested by a variety of enzymes that are excreted by the saprotroph.
