Fungi have a special mode of nutrition, they are decomposers because: *
they absorb large and complex molecules from environment, and then secreting
hydrolytic enzymes internally to break them down.
all statements are correct
they absorb small organic molecules from environment, after secreting hydrolytic
enzymes into their surroundings to breakdown complex molecules externally.
they are autotrophs
they ingest food particles, then secreting hydrolytic enzymes for digestion.
What traits do fungal cells share with the some bacterial cells? (Choose all that apply)
the ability to secrete enzymes that break down food sources
Othe ability to take up nutrients from the environment
the presence of mitochondria to provide energy for the cells
the ability to utilize carbohydrates and oxygen to produce ATP
A cell wall that prevents lysis in hyp0tonic conditions
