    Nutrition refers to the processes by which living things obtain nutrients from their environment and transport them into cells. Nutrients are chemical substances like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins that organisms need to grow and function properly. Autotrophs can produce their own food using light, water, carbon dioxide or other chemicals, while heterotrophs obtain food and energy by consuming other organisms. Many simple animals have a single opening digestive compartment to break down food and distribute nutrients throughout the body.

    an organism that can produce its
    own food using light, water, carbon
    dioxide or other chemicals
    HETEROTROPH
    an organism that cannot
    manufacture its own food
    and instead obtain its food
    and energy by taking in
    organic substances, usually
