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 on non-living/dead organisms Symbionts Fungus that lives with another...

Mold Assessment (FL) - Answer-A process performed by a mold assessor that includes the physical sampling and detailed evaluation of data obtained from a building history and inspection to formulate an initial hypothesis about the origin, identity, location and extent of amplification of mold growth greater than 10 square feet.
