Answer: digestive enzymes

Step-by-step explanation:

Fungi are the eukaryotic organisms. They can vary from unicellular to multi-cellular. These are the heterotrophic organisms as they obtain their food and nourishment from dead and decaying plant and animal matter. These organisms secrete digestive enzymes over the complex substrate food molecule to convert it into small molecules which can be obtain as food.
