Question

what is a difference between saprophytic and saprozoic mode of nutrition?

Answer 1

Saprophytic nutrition ;- It is the mode of nutrition where the organism derives its nutrition from dead and decaying matter.
saprozoic nutrition :- It is the mode of nutrition of an animal by absorption of dissolved salts and simple organic nutrients from surrounding medium.

Answer 2

Answer:

A saprophytic mode of nutrition is a process of intake of food in organisms, which feed on dead and decaying matter ( by secretion of enzymes that act on decaying matter and breaks them down into simpler forms, that is ultimately taken/ absorbed by organism).

Example- Most saprophytes include bacteria and fungi.

On the other hand, saprozoic mode of nutrition is a process of intake of food in some unicellular organisms, which absorb liquid organic and inorganic substances from their surrounding.

Example- Some protozoa such as Amoeba.
