Lesson: Types of Nutrition Biology

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify and compare between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

explain the importance of nutrition in living organisms,
recall the defining characteristics of autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition and compare and contrast them,
identify types of heterotrophic nutrition, including parasitic, saprophytic, and holozoic,
identify organisms that use holozoic nutrition as carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores.
