what is holozoic mode of nutrition ?

  • -1

It is the type of heterotrophic mode of nutrition, in which all the animals including humans obtain their nourishment by ingesting the whole food (solid foodor complex organic matter in the form of a plant or animal part) through the mouth or some similar structure by the process of ingestion. all vertebrates invertebratesetc follows this process. Its site of digestion is always inside the body, wether intracellularly or intercerlularly.

further it is divided into three types :

1) Herbivores (feed upon plants) 2) carnivores (eat flesh or other animals) 3) omnivores (feed upon both plants & animals)

hope it helps :)

Taking the food as a whole -- without breaking it into simpler compounds like other lower forms of org. do.

ie not eating protein separately carbohydrate seperately.. etc take food as whole and the n   breaking into simpler substances ----- during digestion.

The correct definition is this.:-

Holozoic nutrition is the nutrition method in which animals take the energy containing organic materials, called food, into the gut. After digestion, this food can be absorbed into the body. When this food is decomposed in oxidation reactions, it can release energy to supply for daily uses.

Majority do protozoa derive nourishments by engulfing other organisms, both animals and plants. Such protozoans are called holozoic and the mode of nutrition is called holozoic nutrition. The mode of nutrition involves the development of various ganelles to capture food. The process of nutrition involves four define steps.

  1. Ingestion: the holozoic mode of nutrition lead to the specialization of food capture and food ingesting organaselle. But the locomotory organs usually serve the purpose. In Amoeba mouth and specializes organs for food capturing are wanting. Hence the food is ingested at any point of the cell body and pseudopodia act as food capturing organs.
  2. Digestion: the digestion is intracellular taking place either directly the endoplasm or inside the food vacuole. The digestive enzymes are poured into the food vacuole by the surrounding endoplasm and process of digestion takes place.
  3. Assimilation: the digested food is assimilated but the cell cytoplasm by diffusion. The food vacuoles constantly move about in the cytoplasm to supply the digested food to every part of the cell body.

the individuals belonging to phylum protozoa exhibited three different modes of locomotion, each of which is brought about by a particular type of organelle and is characteristic of different class.

Holozoic is animal like feeding. The protist extends little flagella like "arms" out and engulfs the organism they are feeding on. The organism is then stored in a food vacuole where it can be digested. Keep in mind the protist is usually a single celled organism.

Easy... : )

The holozoic mode of nutrition is just the taking in of complex organic matter by animals. Hence, organisms undergoing this mode of feeding include humans, birds, whales, sharks, lions, elephants etc.

Holozoic mode of nutrition - it is that mode of nutrition in which an organismn take complex food and digest it by IDAAE process .

  • 2

the process in which an organism takes food into the body is known as holozoic mode of nutrition

  • 0

The type of nutrition in which organisms takes complex substance into the body and then break them down inside the body.
