    The document discusses different types of living organisms including eukaryotic organisms like animals, plants, fungi and protoctists. It provides details on the differences between plant and animal cells as well as the structure and feeding mechanisms of fungi. Prokaryotic cells are described as unicellular. Pathogens are defined as disease-causing microorganisms and examples of different pathogen types like bacteria, fungi, viruses and protoctists are given. Specific details are also provided on virus structure and examples as well as examples of bacterial species.

    How do fungi feed?

    They are saprotrophic so they secrete


    enzymes that break down their food
    outside of their cells and then they
    absorb the nutrients.
