Solution

Nutrition in Animals Nutrition in Fungi.

Animals are seen hunting on their prey. They swallow, capture, hunt, and suck, the food they eat. Fungi are saprophytes; they derive the food from the substratum on which they live. They feed on dead and decaying bodies of plants and animals.

Animals break down food through chewing and then must allow that food to travel through the oesophagus, stomach and associated organ in order to digest that food and absorb it nutrients Fungi secrete enzymes that break down insoluble organic compounds into their basic parts. These basic nutrients are then absorbed through the cell walls

Q. Which of the following animal/s exhibit a holozoic mode of nutrition?

Q. Case: Neena was writing a project report on modes of nutrition in different organisms. Heterotrophic organisms display three modes of nutrition i.e., saprophytic, parasitic and holozoic. In the holozoic mode of nutrition, a study on the digestive system of different animals showed that the length of the food pipe or oesophagus in different animals are different. The study showed that herbivores have a longer small intestine as compared to carnivores.
