Holozoic nutrition is that mode of nutrition in which an organism takes complex organic food materials into its body by the process of ingestion, the ingested food is digested and then absorbed into the body cells of the organism. The undigested and unabsorbed part of the food is thrown out of the body of the organism by the process of egestion. For example, Amoeba, cat, dog, Paramecium, cattle etc.
