Holozoic nutrition refers to typical animal nutrition in which food is 1) internalized, 2) broken down to liquid or smaller particles, 3) further broken down to individual molecules 4) molecules are absorbed into the body, and 5) waste is released from the body.

Saprophytic nutrition is nutrition by decomposing organisms like fungus or bacteria in which food is 1) left external to the organisms, 2) digestive enzymes are released from the organism into the decomposing material/food, 3) biomolecules are release from the food particles outside the organism, 4) molecules are then absorbed into the organism, and 5) waste is left outside.
