The importance of nutrition for the growth, development and life of the organization.

Nutrition and metabolism are an essential part of the life of every organism. Some organisms are autotrophic. This means that they themselves produce the necessary substances, and do not take ready-made ones. But even autotrophs need to absorb certain amounts of substances from the environment, since energy cannot appear from emptiness. Heterotrophs, which take ready-made substances from the environment, do so through nutrition. Due to the intake of substances into the body and their processing during digestion, the body is able to grow and develop.
