<p>Autotrophic nutrition is the process by which organisms, such as green plants, are able to synthesize their own food using inorganic materials like CO2 and H2O, in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight. An example of an organism that carries out autotrophic nutrition is green plants.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophs, such as green plants, take in CO2 and H2O and convert them into carbohydrates in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy, which is used to synthesize carbohydrates from CO2 and H2O.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Autotrophic nutrition is the process by which organisms can synthesize their own food using inorganic materials, while heterotrophic nutrition is when organisms depend on other organisms for their food supply. An example of autotrophic nutrition is green plants, while examples of organisms with heterotrophic nutrition include animals and fungi.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The raw materials required for photosynthesis are CO2 and H2O. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.</p> Signup and view all the answers
