Transcript of TThe nutrients enable living organisms to build their bodies, to grow, to repair their damaged parts...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NUTRITION ? The nutrients enable living organisms to build
their bodies , to grow , to repair their damaged parts of their bodies and provide the energy to carry out life and processes
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS ? The energy is used to synthesis (prepare) food from carbon dioxide and water since the synthesis of food occurs in the presence of sunlight
Carbon dioxide
oxygen
Chlorophyll in leaves
water and minerals
Light e
nergy
Diagram showing photosynthesis
Water and minerals are transported to the leaves by vessels which run like the pipes through out the root , the stem , the branches and the leaves
photosynthesis
Water + light=chemical energy
1 Chlorophyll traps light
energy
2 Water enters leaf
3 Carbon dioxide enters leaf
Light energy
Carbon dioxide from air is taken from in through the tiny pores present on the surface of the leaves these tiny pores are surrounded by guard sells such pores are called stomataStomatal
complex Accessory cells
Guard cellpore
Cellulose micro fibril
During the process oxygen is released . The carbohydrates ultimately get converted into starch . The presence of starch in leaves indicates the occurrence of photosynthesis
Blue / colour in areas exposed to
light
Yellow / brown colour in areas not
exposed to light
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ALGAE ? They contain chlorophyll which
gives them the green colour these are generally formed the growth of organisms called algae algae can prepare their own food by photosynthesis Algae growing on
leaf
OTHER MODE OF NUTRITION IN PLANTS There are some other plants which do
not have chlorophyll
then how do they survive ?
Like human and animal such plants depend on the food produced by other plants . They use heterotrophic mode.
You see yellow tubular structure twining around the stem and branches . This plants are called cuscuta . It does not have chlorophyll
Have you seen or heard of plants that can eat animals?
There are few plants which can trap insect and digest them such insect eating plant are called insectivorous plants
ex : pitcher plant
Inside the pitcher plant there are hair which directed downward . When an insect lands the pitcher plants , the lid closes and the trapped insect gets entangled into hair. The insect is digested by the digestive juices secreted in the pitcher
SAPROTROPS The mode of nutrition which
organisms take nutrition in solution form from dead and decaying matter is called saptrotopic nutrition.

HOW NUTRITION ARE REPLENISHED IN THE SOIL You learnt plant absorb minerals
nutrients from soil . Plants contain nutrients such as nitrogen , potassium , phosphorous , etc these nutrients need to be added from time to time to enrich the soil . We can grow plants and keep them healthy .
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT All organisms take food and utilize it to
get energy for the growth and maintance of their body.
Green plants synthesis their food themselves by the process of photosynthesis .they are called autotrophs.
Solar energy is stored in the form of food in leaves with the help of chlorophyll.
A few plants and all animals are dependent on others for their nutrition and called hetrotrophs
