Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi are heterotrophic. They get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from the environment. Fungi, along with bacteria that are found in soil, are the primary decomposers of organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi primarily depend on the dead and decaying organic matter for their nutrition. They release enzymes that can break down the organic matter and then absorb it.
Detailed explanation-3: -They obtain their nutrients from dead or decomposing organic matter, mainly plant material. Fungal exoenzymes are able to break down insoluble polysaccharides, such as the cellulose and lignin of dead wood, into readily absorbable glucose molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi decompose organic matter by releasing enzymes to break down the decaying material, after which they absorb the nutrients in the decaying material. Hyphae are used to break down matter and absorb nutrients and are also used in reproduction.
Detailed explanation-5: -The organisms that feed on dead and decaying matter are called scavengers.
