Solution
Cow uses holozoic mode of nutrition.
Holozoic mode of nutrition is the type of heterotrophic nutrition in which food is taken in solid/liquid form from outside and is digested inside their body, this mode of nutrition is known as holozoic mode of nutrition.
The steps involved in holozoic nutrition are
Ingestion – taking in food materials through mouth
Digestion – breaking down of food by enzymes
Absorption – necessary nutrients get absorbed in the intestine
Assimilation – the absorbed nutrients get mixed with blood and carried to the required areas
Egestion – unwanted and un digested matters come out of the body through anus.
