Process Of Nutrition In Amoeba The different processes involved in holozoic nutrition in amoeba are: Ingestion Ingestion is the process of taking in the food into the body either by swallowing or absorbing it. Amoeba pushes out the pseudopodia to encircle the food and engulfs it forming a food vacuole. This process is known as phagocytosis. Digestion Digestion is the process of breaking the insoluble and large food molecules into soluble and minute molecules. In amoeba, the food vacuoles are transported deeper into the cell and with the help of the digestive enzymes , the large insoluble particles are broken down to the simplest molecules. Absorption In this process of absorption, the nutrients from the digested food material are absorbed into the cell’s cytoplasm by leaving behind the undigested particles. This process is called diffusion. The excess food is stored in the form of glycogen and lipids. Assimilation Assimilation is the process of ob...
Heterotrophic nutrition in plants Heterotrophic nutrition is a type of nutrition in which organisms depend upon other organisms for food to survive. Heterotrophic organisms have to take in all the organic substances they need to survive. All animals, fungi, and non photosynthesizing plants are heterotrophic . Some plants do not contain chlorophyll and depend on other plants for their food through the heterotrophic mode of nutrition. These type of nutrition in plants are referred to as Heterotrophic nutrition in plants, hence are called parasites. Heterotrophic Plants Listed below are different types of heterotrophic plants that are mainly classified based on their mode of nutrition: Parasitic Insectivorous Saprophytic Symbiotic Parasitic Nutrition Some heterotrophic plants de...
