is symbiosis a mode of nutrition?

Answer 1

Basically it is a mode of life. It is a kind of association involving two organisms for mutual benefit that includes nutrition as well.

Answer 2

Yes, symbiosis is a mode of nutrition in which both the organisms benefit from each other.

Answer 3

Yes, symbiosis is a mode of nutrition in which both the organisms benefit from each other.

Answer 4

Symbiotic Nutrition

Answer 5

Fungi, unlike plants, do not have chlorophyll. Therefore, they rely on other organisms to provide them with nutrition. They can act as:

Ascomycetes can live in the cooperation relationship that is beneficial for both parties. These cooperative organisms are usually some kind of tree or plants. There are two kinds of symbiosis that these fungi can participate in:
Ectomycorrihizal fungi surround the roots of a plant and bring water and minerals from the soil for both organisms. In return, the fungi benefits from the carbohydrates and other substances from the tree.

Endomycorrhizal fungi live inside plant roots. This can be symbiotic (advantageous to both organisms) or it can be parasitic to the plant.



Ascomycetes can feed on other living things. Most of the time, they do harm to them. They break down and digest the tissue of the host organism.
Many fungi exist to decompose dead plant or animal matter. They obtain food from the digested matter. Many of these organisms can be found on dead trees, insects or animals. They are called saprobes.5

Answer 6

Symbiosis is more a form of relationship between two or more organisms, to the benefit of both, with harm to neither. For example, every cell in our bodies is a perfect example of a symbiotic relationship. The main part of our cells has its nucleus where DNA and RNA are contained, and these are encoded and sent to ribosomes where they are "read" and translated into proteins and other substances by those little factories. However, where does the fuel for this process come from? From mitochondria. These, according to the theory of evolution, represent an ancient symbiotic relationship, since mitochondria have their own DNA which is unlike that contained in the cell nucleus. As part of their work, mitochondria produce energy containing molecules the remainder of the cell can use for fuel, and the remainder of the cell provides the food to the mitochondria through its absorption of nutrients from the blood stream.

Another example of a symbiotic relationship is found in termites. We all know termites eat wood. However, the termite does not have any DNA in its own cells which allow it to digest and break down wood for nutrition. Termites are colonized by bacteria which can do this, so the termite eats the wood, which is "eaten" and metabolized by the bacteria, and the termite really "eats" and absorbs the excreted waste products of the bacteria. Both species are benefitted, and neither are harmed. I hope this helps.

Answer 7

Sure, it can be.
There are bacteria which are symbiotic with each other. One reduces sulfide, while another oxidizes sulfate.
Of course, it's not always true. For example, there are tiny fish that eat the parasites on whales. While this is a mode of nutrition for the fish, it's just a really nice convenience for the whales.
