When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, the bubbles which are formed with the evolution of a gas are due to evolution of CO2 gas.
Since there is formation of a new substance in this reaction, it is a chemical change.
Baking soda + Lemon juice -> Salt + Carbon dioxide + Water
Acid react with carbonates to give salt and releasing carbon dioxide and water.

Fertilisers and manures contain plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, etc. So, when fertilisers and manures are added to the soil in the fields, then the soil gets enriched with nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, etc.

Symbiotic relationship
- There are certain organisms that lives together and provides food and shelter to each other. This kind of nutrition is known as symbiotic relationship.
- This kind of relationship is very important for plants because there are certain microorganisms like fungi that lives in the rootsof trees and absorb the nutrients from The fungi in turn help the plants to absorb water and nutrientsfrom the soil required for the proper growth of plants.
- An example is lichens where a symbiotic relation exists between the alga and fungus.

Pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant (also called as Insectivorous plant). Carnivorous plants are plants that eat insects and other small animals. Carnivorous plants grow in soil that has little nitrogen. All living things must have nitrogen. Carnivorous plants get nitrogen from the insects they eat.
Pitcher of the pitcher plant is actually a modified leaf. The apex of the leaf is the lid.

Insectivorous plants
- Some other species of plants known as insectivorous plants that are capable of trapping insects and digesting them. These plants are known as pitcher plants with its leaf modified as pitcher.
- The top of the leaf forms a cover which closes or opens the mouth of the modified leaf.
- The pitcher consists of hair like projections directed downwards.
- As soon as an insect lands over the pitcher the cover of the pitcher opens to swallow the insect.
- As soon as the insect gets inside the pitcher the top closes and the insect gets knotted in the hair.
- The plant then digests the insect with the help of the digestive juices secreted inside the pitcher.

Some plants do not contain chlorophyll and depend on other plants for their food through the heterotrophic mode of nutrition. These type of nutrition in plants are referred to as Heterotrophic nutrition in plants, hence are called parasites.
Heterotrophic Plants
Listed below are different types of heterotrophic plants that are mainly classified based on their mode of nutrition:
-
Parasitic
-
Insectivorous
-
Saprophytic
-
Symbiotic

Plant gets nitrogen from soil. Certain types of bacteria called rhizobium, are present in soil. They convert gaseous nitrogen into usable form and release it into the soil. Plants absorb these soluble forms of nitrogen along with water and other minerals through roots.

Proteins and fats are the nutrients; other than carbohydrates; which are required by plants.
Proteins are nitrogenous substances which contain nitrogen. Although nitrogen is present in abundance in atmosphere, but plant cannot absorb atmospheric nitrogen. Plant gets nitrogen from soil. Certain types of bacteria called rhizobium, are present in soil. They convert gaseous nitrogen into usable form and release it into the soil. Plants absorb these soluble forms of nitrogen along with water and other minerals through roots.

In plants, minerals and water are transported through the xylem cells from soil to the leaves. The xylem cells of the stem, roots, and leaves are interconnected forming a conducting channel reaching all plant parts. The root cells obtain ions from the soil which creates a difference in the concentration of ions between the roots and soil. Thus, there is a continuous water movement into the xylem. Osmosis causes osmotic pressure hence water and minerals are transported from one to another cell. Transpiration leads to a continuous water loss in addition to a suction pressure which is created due to water that is being forced into the xylem cells of the roots.
Thus, it can be said that xylem plays an important role in the transportation of water and minerals once they absorb these and transport them to different plant parts.

The word Heterotrophic is the combination of two words i.e. Hetero + Trophos. Hetero means ‘others’ and ‘trophos’ means nourishment. If organisms depend on others for their food, such a mode of nutrition is called Hetetrophic Nutrition.
Animals cannot make their food themselves. They depend for food upon plants. Therefore, nutrition in animals is called Hetetrophic Nutrition. Animals are known as Heterotrophs.

Auto means self and trophos means nourishment. Plants are called autotrophs because they make their food themselves. The making of food for themselves is called the Autotrophic nutrition. Autotrophic nutrition is found in green plants, and in some bacteria.
