Summary
Fungi's Role in Ecosystems Fungi are essential decomposers, crucial for recycling nutrients and breaking down organic matter, impacting the Earth's life cycle. Without fungi, dead organisms would persist, highlighting their vital role in decomposition. Fungi Characteristics Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that absorb nutrients by secreting enzymes. They consist of hyphae, tubular filaments forming a mycelium, and reproduce through spores. Fungi Diversity and Comparison to Plants Fungi, including mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, come in various forms and are distinct from plants. Unlike plants, fungi lack chlorophyll, reproduce via spores, and have cell walls made of chitin, not cellulose.
