Fungi absorb nutrients from living or dead organic matter (plant or animal stuff) that they grow on. They absorb simple, easily dissolved nutrients, such as sugars, through their cell walls. They give off special digestive enzymes to break down complex nutrients into simpler forms that they can absorb.

What organism supplies matter and energy?
Plants, through the process of photosynthesis, supply matter and energy to most ecosystems by converting sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as animals consume plants or other animals.
How does energy flow from one organism to another organism?
Energy flows from one organism to another through the consumption of food. Organisms obtain energy by ingesting other organisms or their products. This energy is transferred up the food chain as animals eat plants or other animals, eventually being used for growth, movement, and other metabolic processes.
What do autotroph and heterotroph mean?
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food, such as plants. their food comes form the sun meaning they use light energy to produce food. Although heterotrophs ultimately get their energy from the sun, but the way they obtain is different. in heterotrophs they obtain energy from the food they consume. For example eating plants that have obtained energy from the sun, or by eating animals that have eaten such plants.
Why is food needed by animals?

Why do animals eat and why do plants not eat?
