Question

Name any two organisms that exhibit heterotrophic nutrition by breaking down food material outside the body before absorbing it.

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer Bread mould (*Rhizopus*) and mushroom are two organisms that break down food material outside their body and then absorb it (saprotrophic/extracellular digestion). Source: Life Processes, Section 5.2.2 ## Explanation The passage explicitly lists "fungi like bread moulds, yeast and mushrooms" as examples. Name any two from this list. The examiner expects organisms from the textbook — do not write animals. The key phrase is "break down food outside the body then absorb it."
