During a two stage process, the mycelium helps absorb nutrients into the fungi. First enzymes are secreted, then via facilitated diffusion and active transport, said nutrients are transported back to the fungi.
The hyphae in mycelium secrete enzymes, which break down the polymers into monomers. The mycelium then absorbs the monomers.
The mycelium is well suited to absorb food because it permits a large surface area to come in contact with the food source through wich it grows.
Fungi are heterotrophic (they get their own food). in their mycelium they have hyphae which are like little cells. The fungi use the hyphae to absorb nutrients from organic matter.
The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
they help absorb nutrients
The adaption of buttress roots help trees because in rainforests, 70% of the nutrients are on the surface of the soil and if your roots are on the surface, they can absorb more nutrients
Its main function is to absorb nutrients from food. The reason it is so long is so that there is more surface area in order to absorb more nutrients. The intestine also has a muscular surface which pushes food through as it is digested.
by covering alot of surface area the capillaries help absorb nutrients and transfer them into the blood
To absorb water and nutrients. It has a larger surface area because of its microvillae.
