The correct Answer is:
To determine which two organisms have a holozoic mode of nutrition, we need to understand what holozoic nutrition entails and analyze the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Holozoic Nutrition**: - Holozoic nutrition is a type of heterotrophic nutrition where organisms ingest solid food, digest it internally, and then absorb the nutrients. This process involves ingestion, digestion, and egestion. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A: Paramecium and Plasmodium**: - Paramecium is a unicellular organism that uses holozoic nutrition by engulfing food particles. - Plasmodium, on the other hand, is a parasite that does not ingest food in the same way, so this option is incorrect. - **Option B: Plasmodium and Parakeet**: - Again, Plasmodium does not exhibit holozoic nutrition. A parakeet, being a bird, does have holozoic nutrition, but since Plasmodium is included, this option is also incorrect. - **Option C: Human and Amoeba**: - Humans are multicellular organisms that ingest food and digest it through a complex digestive system, which qualifies as holozoic nutrition. - Amoeba is a unicellular organism that also exhibits holozoic nutrition by engulfing food particles through phagocytosis. - Therefore, this option is correct. - **Option D: Paramecium and Parasite**: - While Paramecium exhibits holozoic nutrition, the term "parasite" is too broad and does not specifically indicate a mode of nutrition. Not all parasites exhibit holozoic nutrition, making this option incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - The two organisms that exhibit holozoic nutrition are **Human and Amoeba** (Option C). ### Final Answer: The two organisms that have a holozoic mode of nutrition are **Human and Amoeba**.
