Types of Heterotrophic Nutrition Explained| Middle School Science | Khan Academy

Discover the fascinating world of heterotrophic nutrition in this video! Learn about the three main types: saprophytic, where organisms feed on dead and decaying matter (think mushrooms and mold); parasitic, where one organism lives off another, like Plasmodium causing malaria in humans; and symbiotic, where two organisms, such as fungi and algae in lichens, benefit each other. We’ll dive into real-life examples, explain how these processes work, and explore their role in nature
