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 is a major ecological community?
A major ecological community is consumers. These are organism that gain energy needed for their survival by eating plants and animals that are either alive or dead.
What can plants do that animals can't?
plants can make there own food but animals cannot
What uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food?
Technically, everything-we all get all of our energy from the sun. Plants convert the energy into food that we consume directly, or indirectly through the animals that eat the plants. We gain the energy from eating the plants or the animals.
What organism may eat plants animals or both to obtain energy?
"omnivores" - like us and rats.
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?
All animals, yourself included, consume food to gain energy. Unlike plants, animals can't use sunlight to produce energy, however, by eating plants or other animals, an animal can convert the energy that organism had for its own use.
What do all living things use to get their energy?
For Plants : Photosynthesis For animals (herbivours) : Eating plants For animals (carnivours) : Eating other animals For animals (omnivours) : Eating plants and other animals
How animals get energy?
From eating other plants or animals.
How do animals obtain energy from plants?
by eating them
How do animals get energy from sunlight?
By eating plants.
How do people get energy from sunlight?
People get their energy from sunlight indirectly by either eating plants or eating animals which ate plants. Plants get their energy from the sun.
How did plants and animals get their energy before coming fossil fuels?
Same way they get energy now. Plants get energy from sunlight via photosynthesis and animals get energy from eating plants and other animals.
What food sources do you get energy from?
You get energy from all food sources. There are plants and then there's meat. You get direct energy from eating plants. When you eat animals, you get the energy that they got from eating plants.
Where do Plant eating animals got their energy from?
plants
What is a ecological community?
A major ecological community is consumers. These are organism that gain energy needed for their survival by eating plants and animals that are either alive or dead.
Why do animals eat and why do plants not eat?
Technically, plants do eat, you just don't see them eating. Animals get their energy from eating other organisms (plants, other animals, etc.), while plants get their energy from the sun and undergo photosynthesis which results in energy for the plant, or their 'food'
An animal is a answer as it cannot make its own food. Animals eat plants?
an organism that gets energy from eating other organisms. an organisms that uses sunlight to make its own food. an organism that gets energy from eating dead organisms, non-living
