Holozoic nutrition involves the ingestion of solid organic material, which is then digested and absorbed internally. Two organisms that exhibit holozoic nutrition are:-

1. Humans: As heterotrophic organisms, humans obtain nutrients by ingesting food, which is then broken down through the process of digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. Nutrients are absorbed across the intestinal lining into the bloodstream and distributed to cells throughout the body for energy production, growth, and repair.

2. Dogs: Like humans, dogs are also heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients through holozoic nutrition. They consume solid organic material in the form of food, which is then digested in their gastrointestinal tract. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and utilized for various physiological functions, including energy production and tissue maintenance.
