String
String
A sequence of characters used to represent text. It can be a single character, a word, or a sentence. It is used to store and represent information in a computer program.
Quotation marks
Quotation marks
A special symbol that indicates the start and end of a string. It is commonly used in programming languages to define literals.
ASCII code
ASCII code
A way of representing a character or group of characters using a numerical code. The standard ASCII code assigns unique numbers to each character, allowing computers to process and store them efficiently.

Study Notes
Plant Nutrition
- Plants need water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce carbohydrates (glucose).
Parasitism
- Some plants are insectivorous, using specialized leaves to attract and trap insects for digestion.
- Venus flytrap is an example.
Nutritional Adoption in Animals
- Animals are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms.
- Dietary categories include herbivores (plant eaters), carnivores (meat eaters), omnivores (both), and detritivores (decomposers).
Intracellular vs. Extracellular Digestion
- Intracellular digestion: Single-celled organisms (like protists) digest food inside their cells.
- Extracellular digestion: In multicellular organisms, food particles are broken down outside cells before being absorbed.
Substrate Feeders
- Single-celled organisms process food inside their cells.
Bulk Feeders
- Eat large food chunks, using adaptations such as jaws, teeth, tentacles, or claws for intake and processing.
- Examples: snakes and cats.
Five Stages of Animal Food Processing
- Mechanical Processing/Ingestion (chewing, swallowing)
- Secretion of Enzymes (digestive aids)
- Enzymatic Hydrolysis (chemical breakdown)
- Absorption (nutrient uptake)
- Elimination (waste removal)
Nutrition's Role in Organism's Life
- Nutrients enable organisms to fight disease and produce resistance against illness.
- Nutrients build and repair cells, sustain bodily functions (including breathing), and enable reproduction.
Types of Organisms Based on Nutrition
- Autotrophs (self-feeders): Organisms that produce their own food using sunlight or chemicals.
- Examples: plants and chemosynthetic bacteria
- Heterotrophs: Organisms that cannot produce their own food and obtain it from other organisms.
- Examples: animals and fungi
Plant Oxygen Needs
- Plants obtain oxygen from air spaces in soil. Proper cultivation is necessary for adequate oxygen supply.
Macronutrients and Micronutrients for Plants
- Plants primarily need 0.5% macronutrients (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, etc.) and trace amounts of micronutrients (chlorine, iron, etc.).
- Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to stunted growth or discoloration.
Symbiotic Relationships in Plants and Soil Microbes
- Symbiotic interactions between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and legume plants are crucial for nutrient acquisition.
Symbiosis of Plants and Fungi
- Mycorrhizal fungi extend the root system, enhancing nutrient (especially phosphorus) uptake.
- Transfer of nutrients like zinc and copper from the fungi to the plants enhances their wellbeing.
Oxygen Use in Plants
- Oxygen is crucial for cellular respiration, releasing energy from sugars (carbohydrates) for plant growth and bodily processes.
Filter Feeders
- Aquatic animals that filter small particles from water for nutrition.
- Examples: whales and certain cnidarians.
