Question

How do organisms obtain their nutrition?

Answer 1

There are two ways of nutrition in the organisms:

1. Autotrophic nutrition:

• Autotrophs are organisms that can make their food through photosynthesis.
• Autotrophic nutrition involves the usage of sunlight to derive their nutrition.

2. Heterotrophic nutrition:

• The heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their food.
• They consume the food prepared by autotrophs or the autotrophs themselves.
• Hence, they depend on autotrophs for their nutritional requirements.
