One important way fungi are different is the way they eat. Plants make their own food, using chlorophyll, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Fungi cannot make their own food because they do not have chlorophyll. They must eat other living or once-living matter.
Fungi are heterotrophic thus do not carry out photosynthesis, they receive their nutrients from parasites and decomposing matter ex worms.
The Digestion is taken place outside of the body but the nutrients is obtained through the cell walls. But they do not have cells walls like plants for they do not have cellulose.
Fungus gets its food from eating other organisms, which in todays society we call heterotrophic. Heterotrophic means we, and fungi, eat other organisms to obtain energy. Like fungi, we also secrete digestive enzymes into our digestive environment. It's just that we have made this environment portable and keep it within our bodies.
Vocabulary words:
Heterotrophic-To eat another organism to obtain energy. (example: us, fungi, etc.)

What else can I help you with?
Does fungi grow on their food source?
Fungi grow into their food source by extending filamentous structures called hypha into the food source. This necessitates their being in close proximity, or on the food source to do this.
What kingdom contains heterotrophs with cell walls made of chitin?
Kingdom mycota or fungi contains chitin in cell wall . fungi are heterotrophic but they absorb food .
How do fungi get there food?
Fungi absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, a network of thread-like structures. They secrete enzymes to break down organic matter, such as plant material or decaying organisms, into simpler compounds that can be absorbed and used as food.
Does a fungus have chlorophyll?
Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone. Fungi do not have chlorophyll in their cells. They cannot produce food, so they must depend upon other living or dead things for food. Fungi CANNOT survive alone.
Why Fungi cannot synthesis their food?
because they one fungal partner which synthesis
Can fungi help in the food chain?
Fungi have the role of decomposers in the food chain.
How is the producing of food by fungi different from plant food production?
Actually fungi cannot produce food while plants can. Fungi can only absorb food from dead organic matter.
How does the fungi make its own food?
Fungi actually don't make their food, they're heterotrophic, or decomposer, even though they have cell walls. You find fungi near their food source.
Where do fungi get their food from?
They get their food from animals and plants
How does a fungi get its food?
Fungi receives food through filter feeding. It can also just eat bacteria.
How does fungi get into food?
Fungi get into food through contamination - the fungi is allowed to contact the food in some fashion. In the United States, most cross-contamination like this happens in the home after the food has been open. Fungi are pretty much everywhere and for the most part don't hurt anything.
What is mushroom food?
Fungi
Why you preserve food from fungi?
would you eat mouldy bread --------------------------------------- Fungi are 'decomposers' they make food go bad.
Does fungi make food through photosynthesis?
No, fungi do not make food through photosynthesis. Unlike plants, fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment or by forming symbiotic relationships with other organisms.
Fungi typically digest their food?
in its atmosphere on decaying material to break it down to a form that it can consume
Do fungi eat food just as animals do?
No, fungi undergophotosynthesis just as plantsdo.
Why don't fungi not make its own food?
fungi does not make there own food its a mith
