4. Parasitic nutrition
5. Photosynthesis
Answers
Autotrophic nutrition
Autotrophic Nutrition. “Autotrophic nutrition is a process where the organism prepares its food from the simple inorganic materials like water, mineral salts and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.”
Omnivores
An omnivore is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter. Obtaining energy and nutrients from plant and animal matter, omnivores digest carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber, and metabolize the nutrients and energy of the sources absorbed.
Parasitic nutrition
Parasitic nutrition is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition where an organism lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism . The parasite obtains nutrition directly from the body of the host. The parasites derive their nourishment from their host.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
