| Extra-cellular
digestion in fungi: |
- Body consists of thin threads
(hyphae)
- Hyphae secrete enzymes that
diffuse through wall onto food
- Enzymes hydrolyse materials in
food to monomers
- Monomers then absorbed into
hyphae by facilitated diffusion. and active
transport
- In fungi (e.g. saprophytic
fungi), cilia not involved in moving food
