(Mitochondria is the plural for mitochondrion so the "a" can be removed from the question.)

Mitochondria are powerhouse organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. Like plants and animals, fungi are eukaryotes - and nearly all fungi cells contain mitochondria. (Yes, even most plant cells have mitochondria - and respire on overcast days and at nights when chloroplasts can't perform photosynthesis. Fungi though, like animals, do not contain chloroplasts.)

Note: An exception is the phylum Neocallimastgomycota, a division of fungi who use hydrogenosomes instead of mitochondria.

Fungi lack the metabolic machinery to photosynthetize, fungi lack plastids with pigments.

How do fungi obtain food?

Fungi obtain food through absorption. They secrete enzymes to break down organic matter into simpler molecules, which are then absorbed through their cell walls. Fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they rely on other organisms for nutrients.


What type of nutrition is performed by fungus?

· Fungi are heterotrophs that acquire their nutrients by absorption. · They absorb small organic molecules from the surrounding medium. · Exoenzymes, powerful hydrolytic enzymes secreted by the fungus, break down food outside its body into simpler compounds that the fungus can absorb and use. · The absorptive mode of nutrition is associated with the ecological roles of fungi as decomposers (saprobes), parasites, and mutualistic symbionts. · Saprobic fungi absorb nutrients from nonliving organisms. · Parasitic fungi absorb nutrients from the cells of living hosts. · Some parasitic fungi, including some that infect humans and plants, are pathogenic. · Mutualistic fungi also absorb nutrients from a host organism, but they reciprocate with functions that benefit their partner in some way.
