Nutrition

 Nutrition is fascinating! It's the science of how our bodies obtain and use nutrients from food. A well-balanced diet provides essential nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, supporting overall health. If you have any specific questions about nutrition,

Autotrophic Nutrition: Organisms capable of producing their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Plants are a classic example.

Heterotrophic Nutrition: Organisms that rely on external sources for obtaining pre-formed organic molecules. Humans and many animals fall into this category.

Within heterotrophic nutrition, there are further classifications like saprophytic (feeding on dead organic matter) and parasitic (living off a host organism). Anything specific you'd like to explore further?
