There are four main types of feeding mechanisms

1. Filter feeders strain suspended food particles from large amounts of water. These are usually marine animals.
2. Substrate feeders live on or in their food. An example of this are worms
3. Fluid feeders consume the fluid of another organism to get nutrients to survive. Such as mosquitos.
4. Bulk feeders eat large pieces of food, usually from the source. Majority of animals are included in this group

Monogastrive Digestive System

There is only one esophagus and one stomach

Ruminant Digestive System

The stomach has multiple chambers to digest a lot of plant material. This digestive system is mostly present in such as Cows, Sheep, and Goats.

Avian Digestive System

The bird has two chambers. This is because the bird needs to have a high metabolism rate in order to stay light and efficiently process food.

The key system that involves the procurement of nutrients would be the digestive system. This system is responsible for the breaking down and absorption of foods and nutrients.

The key organ for the absorption of nutrients would be the small intestines. As the food is already broken down, the small intestine absorbs the nutrients from the food

Derived from the word Carnivore which means meat eater, these animals’ primary food source is meat. Their main food sources are meat because meat provides enough nutrients for their everyday functions, and plant materials lack that. They also have only one stomach chamber and a simple digestive system.
There are only 2 types, the vertebrate and invertebrate. The difference between them is that the vertebrate carnivores are Lions, Cheetahs, and snakes. While invertebrate carnivores are Spiders, Ladybugs.

Omnivores are plant and meat-eaters, in Latin Omnivore means to eat everything. Omnivores have a stomach that can have multiple chambers and have a special track that can help digest different types of food sources. Omnivores can also survive in different types of environments.
Examples of Omnivores are Humans, Bears, and Chickens, which are vertebrate Omnivores, and invertebrate Omnivores are Cockroaches and Crayfish.

These animals’ primary food sources are plant-based. Their digestive systems are developed to handle large amounts of plant material. They have several stomach chambers, that help digest plant materials and.
Herbivores are classified into different types:

Frugivores (Fruit eaters)

Granivores (Seed eaters)

Nectivores (Nectar feeders)

Folivores (Leaf eaters)

Food uptake in cells go through Endocytosis

Endocytosis
- This is when cells internalize substances from their external environment. It’s how cells get the nutrients they need in order to grow and develop. Endocytosis internalizes substances which are fluids, electrolytes, protein, and other macromolecules. Endocytosis also is another way for white blood cells and the immune system to capture and destroy potential pathogens including bacteria and protists.
