how do organisms obtain their nutrition??
Answers
Answer:
Autotrophic organisms make their own food by a process called photosynthesis. Green plants, for example, manufacture sugar and starch from carbon dioxide and water using the energy of sunlight to drive the necessary chemical reactions. Heterotrophic organisms obtain their food from the bodies of other organisms.

Heterotrophic nutrition Heterotrophic organisms obtain their food from the bodies of other organisms. This is done in various ways.
Herbivores such as cattle, tortoises and sparrows eat plants.
Carnivores such as lions, crocodiles, sharks and kestrels eat the flesh of other animals.
Omnivores such as humans can eat both plants and animals.
Saprophytes such as many types of fungi and bacteria, obtain their food in liquid form from the remains of dead organisms. This feeding manifests itself as the process called decay.
Parasites such as tapeworms and mosquitoes live on or in another living organism (called the host) from which they obtain food.
