cellular digestion? Describe the process of extra cellular digestion with

example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Saprophytic: The mode of nutrition in which organisms feed on dead and decaying matter. ... In saprotrophic mode of nutrition, the vital nutrients required for their body are collected from dead and decaying matter. The other organisms which are saprotrophic is Rhizopus, Yeast, and Mushroom.

animals feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food.

Answer 2

1) Answer:- Saprotrophic nutrition or lysotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi and soil bacteria.

2) Answer:- In extracellular digestion, the materials or food particles are broken down chemically into smaller components outside the cell or onto the digestive system spaces.

For example, fungi feed on their food by secreting digestive enzymes to digest their food externally, which they later absorb.
