Osmotrophy is a
feeding mechanism involving the
movement of
dissolved organic compounds by osmosis.
Organisms that use
osmotrophy are
called osmotrophs...

phagotrophy or
osmotrophy),
sometimes combining them (in mixotrophy). They
present unique adaptations...
- of its nourishment, it is
called phagotrophy and is
distinguished from
osmotrophy,
which is
nutrition taking place by absorption.[citation needed] The history...

Possible combinations are photo- and chemotrophy, litho- and
organotrophy (
osmotrophy,

enzymes catalyze the
digestion of the food, i.e., diffusion, transport,

Since digestion occurs outside the cell, it is said to...
