There are two main nutrition modes:
a) Autotrophism mode of nutrition through which living organisms manufacture their own food from simple inorganic substances in the environment such as carbon (IV) oxide, water and mineral ions. Organisms that make their own food through this mode are autotrophs.
b) Heterotrophism mode of nutrition in which living organisms depend on already manufactured food materials from other living organisms. Heterotrophs are the organisms that feed on already manufactured food materials.
