How do fungi change complex food?

Answer 1

Fungi are equipped to secrete enzymes for extracorporeal digestion of food. (Extracorporeal digestion means food getting digested outside the body.)

Protease, lipase, pectin lyase, cellulase, and other digestive enzymes are secreted by fungi. These organisms are saprotrophic, meaning they release digestive enzymes throughout the body to break down organic materials into simpler substances that the fungi can then absorb.

Fungi aid in the decomposition of dead organic matter by secreting digestive enzymes into their surroundings.

In order to facilitate the absorption of nutrients, fungi secrete enzymes that break down complex organic matter into simpler compounds. This process of external digestion enables fungi to absorb vital nutrients from their environment.
