    Study Notes

    Holozoic Nutrition

    • Characterized by the internalization and digestion of solid organic matter, such as plants and animals, to obtain energy and organic building blocks
    • Exhibited by animals, including humans

    Energy and Organic Building Blocks

    • Obtained by animals through the process of ingestion, where food is taken into the body
    • Food is then digested, breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler compounds
    • Energy is released from the broken-down molecules and used by the animal

    Contrasting Nutrition Type

    • Contrasts with saprotrophic nutrition, which involves the external digestion of dead organic matter
    • Also contrasts with osmotrophic nutrition, which involves the absorption of dissolved nutrients

    Other Nutrition Type

    • Phagocytic nutrition involves the internalization and digestion of blood and decaying organic matter
