Holozoic nutrition (Gr. holo means-whole ; zoikos means-of animals) is a method of nutrition that involves the ingestion of liquid or solid organic material, digestion, absorption and assimilation of it to utilize it. It includes taking in the complex substances and converting them into simpler forms. Example, proteins can be broken into amino acids. This method suggests phagocytosis where the cell membrane completely surrounds a food particle[pic]

Parasitic Nutrition is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition where an organism (known as a parasite) lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism (known as a host). The parasite obtains nutrition directly from the body of the host. Since these parasites derive their nourishment from their host, this symbiotic interaction is often described as harmful to the host. Parasites are dependent on their host for survival, since the host provides nutrition and protection. As a result of this dependence, parasites have considerable modifications to optimise parasitic nutrition and therefore their survival.

Saprotrophic nutrition (pron.: /sæprɵˈtrɒfɪk/) is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of dead or decayed organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs or heterotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi, for example Mucor and Rhizopus. The process is most often facilitated through the active transport of such materials through endocytosis within the internal mycelium and its constituent hyphae.[1]

Autotrophic Nutrition

The term autotroph has been derived from two Greek wards-auto means self and troph means nutrition. In this mode of nutrition, the organisms prepare their own food from simple raw materials like water, carbon dioxide and mineral salts in the presence of sunlight. Chlorophylls present in the chloroplast or green plants are the site of food production. Accordingly all green plants are the examples

    The basic unit of Fungi is a hypha which is a hollow tube. The hypha threads spread out over and into the food material making a visible mesh or mycelium. Some fungi form together to create toadstools. They spread by releasing spores into the environment. A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host and gets its nutrients from or at the expense of its host. Parasites are different from bacteria or viruses because their cells share many features with human cells.…

    Ectoparasites are external parasites that live on the outside of an organism’s body. These parasites feed on the blood of an animal. When the parasites attach themselves to the outer layer of the organism’s skin they remain there for their entire life thriving off the host and entirely depend on the host for nourishment. Ecto parasites usually live in colonies and make nests on the hosts skin rapidly multiplying…

    Parasites have evolved in a very specific and selective way throughout generations. Specific parasites have specific factors that influence their site selection process and that work in favor for the parasites. One important component that influences the parasite to become site specific is being host specific, which in turn affects the ability of extracting resources. The more efficient it is in extracting resources the better the chance of reproducing, which then increases the fitness of the parasite. Fitness plays a huge role in determining how successful the parasite may be. Few other factors that contribute to the site selection process are transmission, survival and reproduction. Since the parasites are in a very predictable environment…

    Parasites are organisms that make their living by residing attached to or within another organism. They use the organism for food, shelter, and a place to reproduce. Depending on the parasite the number of hosts may vary, as well as the transmission and effects.

    The word "photoautotroph" can be broken up into three parts. Photo means light, auto means self, and troph means nourishment. By putting these words together, you can infer that a photoautotroph is an organism that makes light into nourishment. This is the process of photosynthesis, which literally means that the organism uses sunlight energy, carbon dioxide, and water to create organic materials which are used for cellular function (Wikipedia). Plants are an example of this kind of organism.…

    Digestion is the procedure of breaking down food into smaller parts. Most of the food humans consume should be digested into more basic parts, in order for it to be absorbed into the body and used within the body. Additionally, nutrients are the most important substances that allow the body to perform daily activities. Furthermore, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the chief nutrients that the human body needs, in order to grow, repair, move, and maintain homeostasis. These nutrients are broken down and absorbed into the body at different rates, and into precise arrangements, as they travel through the organs throughout the digestive system.…
