- Hyphae
- Other made of long chains joined end to end and divided by cross walls- septa
- Rarely form complete barrier except when separate reproductive cells
- Cytoplasm flows through = proteins carried to tips to grow fast
- Hyphae are continuous or branching tubes filled with cytoplasm and multiple nuclei

What is the carbon source of fungi?
Glucose (dextrose) is the most utilizable carbon source.
Are fungi saprophytic?
Yes,fungi are saprophytic in their mode of nutrition but this is not true for all fungi.Some fungi are parasites such as mildews and most rust species.They absorb nutrients directly from the living host cytoplasm.Besides there are some fungi which are active predators.For examplePleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) is carnivorous predatory fungus.It decomposes the wood to fulfill its glucose requirements.To fulfill its nitrogen requirements it paralyses the nematodes,penetrate them and absorb their nutritional contents
Are humans related to fungi?
Fungi are different from humans in several basic ways. First, fungi do not ingest their food as humans do; rather, they grow into their food. Humans ingest food, secrete enzymes to degrade it, and absorb the released nutrients and simpler compounds. Fungal hyphae grow into a potential food source, release enzymes, and then absorb the relaeased nutrients. Also, fungal cells have a wall of chitin while human cells lack a wall of any sort. Humans are unable to synthesize lysine, but fungi are capable of doing so. Humans are cabable of movement, while most fungi are not. (Chytrids are capable of moving via a motile spore.)
Most fungi that live among the roots of plants are what to the plants?
Some fungi allow an exchange of nutrients between the plant and fungi such as phosphate and nitrates. The fungi also allows for defense against certain insects and pests.
Do plants absorb minerals from soil?
roots are adapted to absorb vitamins and minerals by absorbing water through there semi permeable membrane on the roots. this membrane (skin) allows some things to pass through it will bigger things will be stopped
How do fungi get there food?
Fungi obtains it's food by having hyphae that absorb nutrients in one spot then the hyphae grow out to absorb more nutrients.
What are some heterotrophic eukaryotic forms that absorb nutrients from organic materials in the environment?
Some examples of heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms that absorb nutrients from organic materials in the environment include fungi, some protists like amoebas and slime molds, and certain types of plants that have evolved mycorrhizal relationships with fungi to enhance nutrient absorption.
What is the carbon source of fungi?
Glucose (dextrose) is the most utilizable carbon source.
How does the body absorb nutrient's?
Most of the nutrients are soaked up by the small intestine through villi, I believe.
An organism is found that has the following traits Relies on plants for nutrients Absorbs nutrients through filaments Lives in a moist environment What kingdom does this organism most likely belong in?
Fungi
Mode of nutrition of fungi?
well... i know I'm 8 but the most worst fungi is the death cap.

How does fungi obtain nutrients?
absorb and dissolveThey send digestive enzymes into the soil, then absorb the left over nutrients.If the food is composed of simple molecules such as glucose or sucrose, soluble food can be immediately transported through their cell walls. However, most food that a fungus might consume is composed of complex, organic compounds, e.g., cellulose, lignin, pectin, starch, etc., which is insoluble.In order for this food to be utilized by the fungus, it must be broken down into simpler molecules that can be transported through their cell walls. this is done by digestive enzymes.
The two structures most plants use to gather nutrients and energy to live are?
Roots to absorb nutrients from the ground and leaves to absorb the suns rays for energy.

Are there single cell organisms in kingdom fungi?
A better phrasing of this is 'are fungi multicellular', but yes, they are complex multicellular organisms which naturally decompose the surrounding plant-life and absorb it's nutrients, or just absorb it from the soil and deprive nearby plants. Fungi are most prevalent in shaded, moist spots, but are apt to grow just about anywhere, whether it be on your day-old sandwich, or under your toes. Hope I helped.
What two things do roots do?
Absorb nutrients and support/anchor the plant (in most plants, but not all).
