Fungi use extracellular digestion. They must obtain preformed organic molecules (nutrients) from the environment. The fungus will secrete enzymes to hydrolyze complexes into simpler molecules - which are then absorbed. Once inside, the simpler molecules can be used for energy or to synthesize larger molecules.
