what do photoautotrophic organisms do?
use light energy,photosynthesis, holophytic
1 of 13
what do chemoautotrophic organisms do?
use energy from chemical reactions,no longer life forms
2 of 13
what are saprotrophics?
feed on dead+decaying matter, secrete enzymes on food outside the body

how do parasites get nutrition?
they obtain nutriton from another living organism
