Question

describe hetrotrophic nutrition in animals​

Answer 1

Heterotrophic Nutrition

→ Kind of nutrition in which organisms do not possess the ability to synthesize their own food. They depend on autotrophs for their food supply directly or indirectly. Example: Animals, fungi.

→ Holozoic Nutrition: Animals take in solid food and breakdown inside the body. Example: Amoeba, animals.

→ Saprophytic Nutrition: Organisms feed on dead, decaying matter. Example: Fungi.

→ Parasitic Nutrition: Parasites live inside or outside other organism (host) and derive nutrition from it. Example: Cuscuta (plant parasites), Ticks etc.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Heterotrophic nutrition is nutrition obtained by digesting organic compounds. Animals, fungi, many prokaryotes and protoctists are unable to synthesize organic compounds to use as food. They are known as heterotrophs. Heterotrophic organisms have to acquire and take in all the organic substances they need to survive.
