HOLOZOIC NUTRITION
the nutrition in which complex ,kon diffusible food is taken in and digested into smaller diffusible molecules which can be absorbed and assimilated is known as holozoic nutrition.
it is found in free living animals which have specialized digestive tract in which various processes occur.
# the holozoic nutrition is achieved by the following processes.
INGESTION : the taking in of complex food.
DIGESTION :the break down of large complex insoluble organic molecules.
ABSORPTION:the uptake of soluble molecules from digestive region across a membrane into body cells.
ASSIMILATION :the utilization of the absorbed food molecules by the body to provide energy or materials for tissue building.
EGESTION : the elimination of the undigested food from the body.

Answer :

Eg. Amoeba, Paramoecium. Animals, human beings.
Steps in Holozoic nutrition
(i) Ingestion: taking in of food.
(ii) Digestion: breaking down of complex food into simpler, absorbable form.
(iii) Assimilation: Utilization of digested food from the body.
(iv) Egestion: Removing undigested food from the body
Thanks ☺
