Answer 2

The mode of nutrition defines an organism that consumes the way food is.

The mode of nutrition is broadly classified into two categories:

1. Autotrophic mode
2. Heterotrophic mode

Autotrophic mode :

• It is shown by plants, algae, and bacteria (cyanobacteria).
• They synthesis their food through the process of photosynthesis.

Heterotrophic mode:

• In this, the organism cannot prepare its food. They depend on autotrophs for the food and the nutrients directly or indirectly.
