Brooks Biodiversity Unit 2 Exam with Certified Solutions The Primary role of Fungi Decomposers- they break things down Modes of Nutrition in Fungi Heterotrophs with extracellular digestion Exoenzymes Fungi Release these enzymes outside of the cell wall. Break down complex molecules into smaller organic molecules which can be absorbed. Extracellular Digestion The release of exoenzymes out side of the cell wall, followed by the absorption of nutrients.. Saprobes Fungi that feed...
