Answer:
Nutrition in animals
Nutrition is the process of obtaining food and then using it for obtaining energy, growth and repair of the body. There are five main processes concerned with the use of food by animals. As we know that Plants produces their own food by the help of photosynthesis. But animals are heterotrophs and hence they depend on other organisms for their food. This readymade food comes either from plants or from other animals. We are also animals and obtain food from plants in the form of rice, pulses, vegetables etc. and foods like milk; eggs, chicken, fish etc are obtained from other animals. Many other animals obtain their f33ood by eating the flesh of other animals like fish, birds, snake etc. The big fish eat small fish, the snake eats frog and the insects eat dead bodies of animals. The non- green plants also obtain their food from other plants or animals e.g yeast plant. Also, plant eats insects like pitcher plant and Venus fly- trap.Animals are divided in to three groups on the basis of their food habits. These are: Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores.
(i) Herbivores: are those animals which eat only plants like grasses, leaves, fruits etc. Examples of herbivores are: Goat, Cow, Sheep, Horse, Ox, Elephant etc. Thus, herbivores are plant eaters and also known as herbivorous animals.ii) Carnivores: are those animals which eat other animals as food or they eat meat or flesh of other animals. Examples are: Lion, Tiger, Frog, Vulture, Lizard etc.Therefore, Carnivores are meat eaters and known as carnivorous animals.
(iii) Omnivores: are those animals which eat both plants and animals. Examples are; Man (Human Beings), Dog, Crow, Bear, Ant etc. Thus, Omnivores are plant eaters as well as meat eaters and known as Omnivorous animals.
