Study Notes
Nutrition and Organisms
- The process by which an organism takes food and utilizes it is called nutrition.
- The main macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
- The mode of nutrition in which an organism prepares its own food is called autotrophic nutrition.
- Autotrophs, such as green plants, prepare their own food through a process called photosynthesis, in which they intake CO2 and H2O, and convert these into carbohydrates in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.
- Green plants prepare carbohydrates, such as glucose, in the presence of sunlight.
- Autotrophic nutrition is the mode of nutrition in which an organism prepares its own food.
- Materials that provide nutrition to organisms are called nutrients.
- Green plants and blue-green algae follow autotrophic nutrition.
- Macronutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, are required in large amounts by organisms.
