1. Saprophytism: This is a feeding behaviour where an organism (saprophyte) obtains its nourishment from decaying or dead organic matter.

2. Mutualism: This is where there is dependency and coexistence between two organisms or between a plant and an organism for instance leguminous plant such as pea beans nodules and the bacteria in those nodules.

3. Holozoic: This is a type of nutrition characterized by animals where solid complex substances are obtained from other organism ingested, digested and assimilated in the body.
