Transport of Food - Food is manufactured in the form of carbohydrates (sucrose) in the leaves. Thus, food is transported as sucrose along phloem. From the leaves the prepared food has to be transported to the roots, the younger top regions of the plant, the f..

Actually speaking, natural food substances are various forms of chemicals. For e.g., rice is a carbohydrate. Fruits contain carbohydrates and acids like citric acid. Vegetables contain proteins (amino acid blocks) and vitamins. Besides these, chemicals are al..

Fats are also known as lipids. They are long molecules of fatty acids and an alcohol called glycerol. Fats contain the same elements as carbohydrates i.e., carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but the oxygen content is lowe..

Food Chains and Food Webs - While studying the biotic components in an ecosystem we have realised that food prepared by green plants is consumed by a series of consumers, both herbivores and carnivores, and finally broken down into their elements and released back into..

Human Dependence on Plants and Animals for Food - Of all the living organisms, only plants are autotrophs i.e., they are capable of synthesizing their own food. Animals are heterotrophs i.e. they are incapable of synthesizing their own food. They depend on plants and o..

Food Webs - In nature, the food and feeding relationships of plants and animals are rarely as simple as the examples of food chains described above, because many animals eat more than one kind of food. On this account, different kinds of food chains..
