Holozoic nutrition is seen in
- A) Animals, carnivorous plants and protozoans
- B) Animals, protists and carnivorous plants
- C) Animals, carnivorous plants and fungi
- D) Animals, fungi and prostist
Correct Answer: B) Animals, protists and carnivorous plants
Explanation
Holozoic nutrition is a type of nutrition that involves the ingestion of whole food materials into the body and their subsequent breakdown into smaller molecules by the digestive system for absorption. This process is seen in animals and some protists. In this question, we are asked to identify the organisms that exhibit holozoic nutrition. The correct option is B, which states that animals, protists, and carnivorous plants exhibit holozoic nutrition. Option A is incorrect as protists are not included. Option C is incorrect as fungi are not included. Option D is incorrect as carnivorous plants are not included. It is important to note that holozoic nutrition is different from other types of nutrition such as autotrophic and saprophytic nutrition. Autotrophic nutrition involves the synthesis of food molecules by organisms using inorganic substances and energy from sunlight, while saprophytic nutrition involves the breakdown of dead organic matter by organisms.
