All the living organism needs energy to perform their different normal metabolic functions. Food is the source of the power of the living body. Chlorophyll-containing plants produce foods by using solar energy. This particular function for creating their food is known as photosynthesis. French physiologist Henri Dutrochet (1837) first showed that the green parts of … Read more
All living organism needs energy to perform their different normal metabolic functions. Food is the source of energy of the living body. Photosynthesis is the process by which the chlorophyll-containing green plant and algae synthesizes glucose (carbohydrates) and evolves oxygen using CO2 of the air and water in the presence of sunlight. During the photosynthesis, … Read more
Nutrition is the process by which living organisms take their food for maintaining proper growth, metabolisms and replacement of tissue. Plants nutrition occurs in two phases such as synthesis and assimilation. Generally, plants nutrition is of two types such as autotrophic plant nutrition and heterotrophic nutrition. Autotrophic Plant Nutrition In autotrophic nutrition, the plant gains … Read more
