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

Possible combinations are photo- and chemotrophy, litho- and
organotrophy (
osmotrophy,
phagotrophy and myzocytosis), auto- and
heterotrophy or
other combinations...
