General Biology I
Fungi are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that include yeasts, molds, and mushrooms, which play essential roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystems. They are unique in their cellular structure, possessing cell walls made of chitin, and they obtain nutrients through external digestion, breaking down organic matter in their environment. This makes fungi crucial for decomposition and nutrient recycling in ecosystems.
