Nutrition is described as the process of consuming food in order to carry out various bodily functions necessary for organism survival.
Explanation:
- Autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition are the two primary types of nutrition. Autotrophs are organisms that can prepare their own food, such as plants, and this sort of nutrition is known as autotrophic nutrition.
- Heterotrophic nutrition is a type of nutrition in which an organism's nourishment comes from other species. Saprophytic nutrition, parasite nutrition, and holozoic nutrition are the three types of heterotrophic nutrition.
- When an organism obtains its nutrition from other living organisms, it is said to be in the parasitic mode of nutrition. Saprophytic nutrition occurs when an organism feeds on the remains of deceased plants or animals. Holozoic nutrition is a type of nutrition in which an organism consumes the entire food source.
