Answers
Answer:
We all know that the plants can make their own food through the process of photosynthesis, however, animals and human beings cannot make food for themselves. They obtain food from plants and other animals that feed on plants. Thus, it is seen that human beings and animals depend on plants for their food – somewhere directly or indirectly.
Green plants are autotrophic and synthesize or make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They do this with the help of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. Photosynthesis is the process by which the green plants make their own food ( like glucose ) from carbon dioxide and water by using sunlight energy in the presence of chlorophyll.
On the basis of their modes of nutrition, all the organisms are divided into two main groups – autotrophs and heterotrophs. Their corresponding modes of nutrition are known as the autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
