what is the firast step in holozoic nutrition and explain it
Answers
Explanation:
In Holozoic nutrition the energy and organic building blocks are obtained by ingesting and then digesting other organisms or pieces of other organisms, including blood and decaying organic matter. This contrasts with holophytic nutrition, in which energy and organic building blocks are obtained through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and with saprozoic nutrition, in which digestive enzymes are released externally and the resulting monomers (small organic molecules) are absorbed directly from the environment.
There are several stages of holozoic nutrition, which often occur in separate compartments within an organism (such as the stomach and intestines):
Ingestion: In animals, this is merely taking food in through the mouth. In protozoa, this most commonly occurs through phagocytosis.
Digestion: The physical breakdown of complex large and organic food particles and the enzymatic breakdown of complex organic compounds into small, simple molecules.
Absorption: The active and passive transport of the chemical products of digestion out of the food-containing compartment and into the body or cytoplasm.
Assimilation: Utilization of the absorbed molecules for various metabolic processes.
Egestion: The expulsion of undigested material, commonly called defecating.

hello Dost ☺
Answer :
Holozoic nutrition: Organism (mostly animals) take in whole food and then digest it into smaller particles with enzyme.
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
