  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 5 months ago

  • Plants prepare their food by using raw materials like water, carbon dioxide and minerals.
  • The process of utilization of food by a living organism to obtain energy is called nutrition.
  • There are two modes of nutrition
     
  • Autotrophs or Autotrophic: - In this mode of nutrition organisms make their food themselves from simple substances. All green plants are Autotrophs (Auto means self and trophos means nourishment)
  • Heterotrophs or heterophobic: - Heterotrophic organisms are those who obtain food from other organisms. Since these organisms depend on other organisms for their food, they are called consumers. All animals and non-green plants like fungi come under this category.
