What is the process by which an organism obtains food?

Answer 1

They get their energy from food and water, and ultimately from the sun. The sun sends energy to the plants which transfer energy into you when you eat it or into animals when they eat it and then you get energy from the animal you eat. It is a continuous cycle.

It depends if it is a carnivore or an omnivore even a herbivore a carnivore needs to hunt to get energy and remember a animal gets its energy by food. Anyway, a carnivore eats other animals so that's how it gets energy and a herbivore gets energy by eating grass and an omnivore eats meat and veggies.

Answer 2

This varies greatly between organisms. Here's the four basic types of organism and what they do to get their food. Photosynthetic plants- using an organelle called a chloroplast, which contains chlorophyll, they produce sugars with the chemical formula C6H12O16-glucose- which in turn provide the nutrients necessary to survive. They take water, nutrients, and carbon dioxide, then turn them into glucose in the presence of sunlight. The waste products are water vapor and oxygen (which we breathe and the plants use the carbon dioxide we exhale) Carnivorous plants- These organisms, such as venus fly traps, grow in soil with nearly no nutrients. Therefore, they rely on special adaptations to catch insects, drown them, and then digest with special fluids. Herbivorous animals- these animals are prone to being eaten, and use photosynthetic plants to get the glucose their body needs. They eat plants and there is glucose that was stored. Carnivorous animals- These animals need to eat other animals, whether herbivorous or carnivorous, to get that glucose that every living organism must use to survive.

Answer 3

That varies from organism to organism. Some examples are:

• plants manufacture their food using a process called photosynthesis from light, carbon dioxide, and water
• browsers and grazers eat plants
• carnivores hunt, kill, and eat other animals
• fungi and some bacteria decompose dead plants and animals
• some bacteria "eat" inorganic chemicals like iron, sulfur, etc.
• etc.

Answer 4

Plants get it from sunlight,

animals get it by eating (living) things.

Answer 5

sometimes they get food from each others waists. or they find there own food

Answer 6

feeding
