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.)
they decompose dead organisms -Holy122
