Title: The following statements describe something about the body structures or functio

    Mycelia are made up of small-diameter hyphae that form an interwoven mass, providing more surface area for nutrient absorption.
    Some fungi secrete digestive enzymes into the environment and then absorb the digested nutrients.
    All fungi are heterotrophs; some species live as decomposers and others as symbionts.
    Cellulose gives rigidity and strength to the cell walls of fungi.
    Nutrients can flow through the entire mycelium in fungi with coenocytic hyphae, but not in fungi with septate hyphae.
    Some fungi can grow as either filamentous or single-celled form
