Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
All heterotrophs (organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on other organisms for nutrition) do follow a similar basic process of nutrition. This process typically involves ingestion (taking in food), digestion (breaking down food into simpler molecules), absorption (absorbing nutrients into the body), and assimilation (using those nutrients for growth and energy). However, the specific mechanisms and types of food consumed may vary among different heterotrophs.
