Question

What is mode of nutrition in fungi explain process

Answer 1

their mode of nutrition defines the role of fungi in their environment fungi obtain nutrients in three different ways
they decompose dead organic matter.
fungi live in or on other organisms and get their nutrients from the host cells.

Answer 2

Fungi mainly feed on dead and decaying organic matter.Hence,they are also known as saprotrophs.

Explanation:

1. They have tentacle like hyphae which increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
2. These hyphae contain many important enzymes like:

• Hydrolytic Enzymes:These enzymes are required to break down complex organic material like polysaccharides,proteins and lipids into simpler molecules;so that fungi can easily absorb them.

• Cellulases: The main enzyme required for break down of cellulose (to digest dead plant material).

   3.Now fungi releases such enzymes into their surrounding and absorbs food through                their hyphae.
