How do you compare the nutrition of a human with that of fungi?

Answer 1

let's keep it very short:

fungi secretes digestive enzymes to achieve extracorporeal (outside body) digestion and nutrients are then absorbed,

while human beings are holozoic i.e. they take in food, digest it within digestive tract of body by secreting enzymes and nutrients released are then absorbed.

Nutrition is heterotrophic, in both fungi and humans. Fungi entirely depend on dead and decaying organic matter and are called saprozoic (=obtaining nutrition by absorption).

Like all animals, humans are holozoic. Humans are also omnivore.
