Question
question: fungi are ____ organisms that cant produce their own food and dont have to excrete waste. answer input: spelling counts but capitalization doesnt.
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms. Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food (unlike autotrophs like plants that do photosynthesis) and obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment. Also, fungi have a unique way of handling waste (they don't excrete in the same way as many other organisms, as their metabolic waste can be reabsorbed or used in other processes, fitting the description here).
