The general requirement for energy and materials is common in all organisms, but it is fulfilled in different ways.
Autotrophic Nutrition
Autotrophic Nutrition
Autotrophic nutrition occurs when organisms take in substances from the outside and convert them into stored forms of energy.

Study Notes
Nutrition
- Needed when walking or riding a bicycle as energy is used.
- Organisms need energy from outside the body for growth, development, and synthesizing proteins.
- Food is the source of energy and materials for the body.
How do living things get their food?
- The general requirement for energy and materials is common in all organisms.
- Food material is obtained from inorganic sources, like carbon dioxide and water.
- Autotrophs use simple substances.
- Heterotrophs use complex substances, broken down into simpler ones before usage.
- Heterotroph survival is dependent on autotrophs directly/indirectly.
- Heterotrophic organisms include animals and fungi.
Autotrophic Nutrition
- It is the process by which autotrophs take in substances from the outside and convert them into stored forms of energy.
- Carbohydrates are used for providing energy to the plant.
- Carbohydrates which are not used immediately are stored in the form of starch, which serves as an internal energy reserve to be used by the plant.
- Energy derived from food is stored in the body in the form of glycogen.
