HERBIVORES - organisms that depend on plants and other photosynthetic organisms for food
OMNIVORES - Feed on both plants and animals
CARNIVORES - Depend on meat or flesh for their food.
Vitamins - are organic compounds that function as co-enzymes and co-factors of enzymes
Water-soluble vitamins – Vitamins C and B; transported as free compounds in the blood and serve as co-enzymes in metabolic reactions.
Fat-soluble vitamins – such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K are transported in the blood as complexes that are linked to lipids.

Intracellular Digestion • In sponges, each cell is responsible for the procurement of food that is mixed with water inside the spongocoel or the body cavity
Intracellular Digestion • Some cell do it through phagocytosis while others uses flagella to sweep the food from the water.
Extracellular Digestion • Roundworms has digestive tube, it is specialized in different regions where a part is involved in ingestion, storage, digestion, and absorption
Peristalsis – contraction and relaxation of the muscles.
Epiglottis - closes the opening to the lungs to prevent entrance of food and fluids to the airways.
Cardiac sphincter - assists in preventing regurgitation of acidic chyme from the stomach - temporary storage of food
duodenum – it is where the food enter through pyloric sphincter
