modes of nutrition Flashcards
(89 cards)
what are the 2 main types of nutrition
autotrophic
heterotrophic
what are autotrophic organisms
make their own food from simple inorganic raw materials
what are the 2 subcategories of autotrophic organisms
photoautotrophic
chemoautotrophic
what are photoautotrophic organisms
use light as the energy source and perform photosynthesis
what are chemoautotrophic organisms
use energy from chemical reactions
preform chemosynthesis
what are heterotrophic organisms
cannot make their own food so consume complex organic molecules
3 types of heterotrophic
saprotrophic
parasitic
holozoic
saprotroph meaning
organism that derives eneergy and raw materials for growth from the extracellular digestion of dead / decaying material
parasitic organism meaning
obtain nutrition from another living ogranism which suffers harm and often death
2 types of parasitic organisms
endoparasites
ecotoparasites
what are endoparasites
live in the body of the host
what are
ecotoparasites
live on the surface
holozoic meaning
ingest food, digest it and egest the idigestible remains
4 types of holozoic
herbivores
carnivores
omnivores
detritvores
what are humans
holozoic - omnivores
what are herbivores
only plant material
what are carnivores
animals only
what are omnivores
plant and animal material both
what are detritivores
feed on dead and decaying material
be mae amoeba hefo syn neud on da
- large surface area to volume ratio
what is the way that organisms get in solution
pinocytosis
how do amoeba ingest
via endocytosis
digestion in amoebas
1 - bacteria engulfed by plasma membrane
2 - bacteria are enclosed within a vacuole
3 - lysosomes migrate and fuse with the vacuole membrane, relasing enzymes into the vacuole
4 - intracellular digestion takes place
5 - undigested matetrial is carried by the vacuole to the cell membrane and released by exocytosis
what type of organism is the hydra
diploblastic
