nutrition introduction

Introduction - All organisms require energy in order to stay alive. Energy is utilised to do the various bodily functions such as breathing, ingesting and digesting food, excreting, reproducing, locomotion, etc. Energy is obtained from food. Thus the process of intake of food is vital for..

Introduction - The plants upon which we depend for the food we eat, and for the oxygen we breathe, depend in turn upon the soil. A good soil supplies the plants with the mineral elements they use. Vigorous, highly productive plants can be grown in solutions of fertilizer minerals in the a..

In this chapter, let us study about animal sources of food. Animal sources include eggs, meat, milk and fish. Eggs and meat are rich in proteins, fa..

The animal kingdom includes eukaryotic multicellular organisms which exhibit heterotrophic nutrition. They are commonly known as animals and differ characteristically from the other major groups of plants, in their capacity to be able to move. Animals contribute to about a million living ..
