Question #a7980

Answer 1

Fungi "digest" food outside of themselves and then adsorb it. We injest food first and then digest it.

Explanation:

Fungi can only absorb small molecules through their walls. For fungi to gain their energy needs, they find and absorb organic molecules appropriate to their needs, either immediately or following some form of enzymic diminution outside the thallus. The small molecules are then absorbed, used directly or reconstituted (transformed) into organic molecules within the cell.
