Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Heterotrophic mode of nutrition is a type of nutrition in which organisms depend on other organisms for food
It can be of three types:
1. Holozoic nutrition is the process of nutrition that takes place in organisms that take solid or liquid food inside their body.
E.g. Animals and amoeba
2. Saprophytic nutrition is where the organisms feed on dead and decaying matter.
E.g. Bacteria and fungi.
3. Parasitic nutrition is where an organism lives in or on its host and acquires nutrition at the expense of its host.
E.g. Lice and tapeworms.
