Answers
Answer:
Holozoic nutrition (Greek: holo-whole ; zoikos-of animals) is a type of heterotrophic nutrition that is characterized by the internalization (ingestion) and internal processing of gaseous, liquids or solid food particles.[1] Protozoa, such as amoebas, and most of the free living animals, such as humans, exhibit this type of nutrition.
Ingestion: In animals, this is merely taking food in through the mouth. In protozoa, this most commonly occurs through phagocytosis.
Digestion: The physical breakdown of complex large and organic food particles and the enzymatic breakdown of complex organic compounds into small, simple molecules.
Absorption: The active and passive transport of the chemical products of digestion out of the food-containing compartment and into the body or cytoplasm.
Assimilation: Utilization of the absorbed molecules for various metabolic processes.
Egestion: The expulsion of undigested material, commonly called defecating
