10 Questions
What is the process by which autotrophs take in CO2 and H2O and convert these into carbohydrates in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight called?
Photosynthesis
What are the life processes that together keep living organisms alive and perform the job of body maintenance called?
Life processes
What kind of nutrition do organisms have when they do not possess the ability to synthesize their own food and depend on autotrophs for their food supply?
Heterotrophic nutrition
What are the organisms called that carry out autotrophic nutrition?
Autotrophs
What are the raw materials for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
Define autotrophic nutrition and provide an example of an organism that carries out autotrophic nutrition.
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.
What are the life processes that are essential for keeping living organisms alive and maintaining their bodies? Provide examples of these processes.
The life processes essential for keeping living organisms alive and maintaining their bodies include growth, excretion, respiration, circulation, and nutrition. Examples of these processes are photosynthesis, digestion, and autotrophic nutrition.
Explain the process of photosynthesis and the role of chlorophyll and sunlight in this process.
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.
Differentiate between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition, providing examples of organisms for each type of nutrition.
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.
What are the raw materials required for photosynthesis, and what is the equation for this process?
The raw materials required for photosynthesis are CO2 and H2O. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
