Q. Saprophytic and parasitic modes of nutrition are found in

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.
