Topics and Summaries:

1. Mode of Nutrition in Plants:

– Plants are autotrophs that produce food from water, carbon dioxide, and minerals using photosynthesis. Animals are heterotrophs that depend on plant-derived food.

2. Photosynthesis – Food Making Process in Plants:

– Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves, green stems, and branches of plants, where chlorophyll captures sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen.

3. Synthesis of Plant Food other than Carbohydrates:

– Plants use nitrogen from the soil and convert it into usable forms for protein synthesis. Plants without chlorophyll rely on other plants for nutrition through a heterotrophic mode.
