Question

Can we survive only on raw , leafy vegetables/grass ? Discuss

Answer 1

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

No, we cannot survive only on raw, leafy vegetables/grass, because we cannot get all required nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals, from them. Moreover raw vegetables may not be digested easily as compared to cooked vegetables.

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that the heterotrophs do not possess the ability to synthesize their own food. Therefore, they depend upon autotrophs for their food supply either directly or indirectly. We also know that the green plants (leafy vegetables/grass) trap solar energy and manufacture their food in the form of glucose. So we say that leafy vegetables and grass can provide sufficient energy for human beings to survive.
