Autotrophs and heterotrophs are two primary categories of organisms based on how they obtain energy and nutrients.

### Autotrophs
- **Definition**: Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food from inorganic substances.
- **Types**:
- **Photoautotrophs**: Use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose through photosynthesis (e.g., plants, algae).
- **Chemoautotrophs**: Obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic molecules (e.g., some bacteria and archaea).
- **Role in Ecosystem**: They are primary producers, forming the base of food chains.

### Heterotrophs
- **Definition**: Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.
- **Types**:
- **Herbivores**: Eat plants (e.g., cows, rabbits).
- **Carnivores**: Eat other animals (e.g., lions, hawks).
- **Omnivores**: Consume both plants and animals (e.g., humans, bears).
- **Decomposers**: Break down dead organic matter (e.g., fungi, bacteria).
- **Role in Ecosystem**: They are consumers and play a critical role in energy transfer and nutrient cycling.

In summary, autotrophs create energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for energy. Together, they maintain ecological balance.
Nutrition in amoeba involves a process called *holozoic nutrition*, which includes ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion. Amoebas are unicellular organisms that obtain food by surrounding and engulfing it, using their flexible cell membrane and pseudopodia (temporary projections of their cytoplasm).

Here is a step-by-step explanation of the process:

1. **Ingestion**: Amoeba surrounds its food (such as bacteria, algae, or small organic particles) with its pseudopodia. The food is then engulfed, forming a food vacuole (a small, temporary sac) within the cytoplasm.

2. **Digestion**: Inside the food vacuole, digestive enzymes are secreted. These enzymes break down the food into simpler, soluble substances. This is an intracellular process, meaning it occurs inside the cell.

3. **Absorption**: The digested nutrients are absorbed into the cytoplasm of the amoeba. The food vacuole's membrane facilitates the transfer of these nutrients into the cell.

4. **Assimilation**: The absorbed nutrients are then utilized for energy, growth, and repair. The amoeba uses these nutrients to carry out its metabolic activities.

5. **Egestion**: Any undigested or waste material left in the food vacuole is moved to the surface of the amoeba and expelled outside by exocytosis.

This entire process allows amoeba to sustain itself, grow, and reproduce.
