nutrition of plants and animals

Nutrition in Plants - 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 ..

Nutrition in Plants - Most plants are autotrophic. They synthesize their own food. The green plants, also called the producers, trap the solar energy and convert it into chemical energy of the food. The biochemical reactions in the body which result in the fo..

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 the survival of an orga..

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 fertiliz..

Saprotrophs are decomposers and liberate energy for their own use by breaking down complex organic matter from the dead bodies of other organisms. At the same time this process releases vital chemical elements into the soil which are absorbed by autotrophs. Thus saprotrophs aid the recycling of..

Nutrition in Animals - All animals are heterotrophic (there are exceptions like Euglena, which has chlorophyll). The different modes of heterotrophic nutrition have already been dealt with in the earlier part of the chapter. Of all the methods of heterotrophi..
