Answers
Answer:
Heterotrophic nutrition can be one of three types – holozoic, saprophytic or parasitic. ... Saprophytic nutrition is where the organisms feed on dead and decaying matter. Examples include bacteria and fungi. Parasitic nutrition is where an organism lives in or on its host and acquires nutrition at the expense of its host.
Explanation:
SAPROPHYTIC :- Nutrition in which an organism obtains its food from decaying organic matter of dead plants, dead animals and rotten bread, etc. For example :- Fungi like (bread moulds, yeast, mushrooms) and many bacteria.
PARASITIC:- Nutrition in which an organism derives its food from the body of another living organism (called its host) without killing it. For example :- several fungi, bacteria, a few plants like cuscuta (amarbel) and some animals like roundworm, plasmodium.
HOLOZOIC :- Nutrition in which an organism takes the complex food materials into its body by the process of ingestion, the ingested food is digested and then absorbed into the body cell of the organism. For example:- human, dog, cattle, giraffe, etc
