Nutrition's Mode of Living Things

What is the primary mode of nutrition for autotrophs?

• Decomposition

• Respiration

• Heterotrophy

• Photosynthesis or Chemosynthesis

Name the process by which plants make their own food.

• Respiration

• Transpiration

• Fermentation

• Photosynthesis

What is the primary mode of nutrition for heterotrophs?

• Consuming organic substances from other organisms

• Absorbing nutrients from the soil

• Photosynthesis

• Breathing in carbon dioxide

Give an example of a herbivorous animal.

• Lion

• Giraffe

• Elephant

• Penguin

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

• Provides structural support to the plant

• Regulates the temperature of the plant

• Helps in the absorption of water from the soil

• Absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy

Explain the difference between saprophytic and parasitic nutrition.

• Saprophytic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from inorganic sources, while parasitic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from other parasitic organisms.

• Saprophytic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from the atmosphere, while parasitic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from sunlight.

• Saprophytic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from dead and decaying organic matter, while parasitic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from a living host organism.

• Saprophytic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from living host organisms, while parasitic nutrition involves obtaining nutrients from dead and decaying organic matter.

Name the type of nutrition in which organisms feed on dead and decaying matter.

• Parasite

• Predator

• Herbivore

• Decomposer

What is the importance of nutrition in living things?

• It has no impact on living things

• Nutrition is only important for animals, not plants

• It provides energy, supports growth and development, maintains health, and repairs tissues.

• It only affects physical appearance

Explain the term 'holozoic nutrition' with an example.

• A human being

• A rock

• A plant

• A car

How does nutrition contribute to the growth and development of living things?

• Nutrition provides essential nutrients for growth and development.

• Nutrition has no impact on growth and development

• Nutrition causes stunted growth and development

• Nutrition only contributes to weight gain
