Question

Classify the following properties into autotrophic nutrition, heterotrophic

nutrition, saprotrophic nutrition.



1. Plants prepare their food with the help of chloroplasts using water and salts

absorbed by the roots in the presence of sunlight.

2. Can not prepare food by itself but depends on food produced by plants.

3. Takes its nutrition from dead and decaying matter.

4. During the process of making food, most of oxygen is released in the

atmosphere.

5. This type of nutrition spoils many things in monsoons or humid environments.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Autotrophic nutrition.

2.heterotrophic nutrition.

3.saprotrophic nutrition.

4.transpiration

5.the fungal spores

Explanation:

Answer 2

Classification is done as follows -

1. Autotrophic nutrition

2. Heterotrophic nutrition

3. Saprotrophic nutrition

4. Autotrophic nutrition

5. Saprotrophic nutrition

Autotrophic nutrition refers to production of food on own. The ability is present in plants and few bacteria, which own chlorophyll. The process takes up carbon dioxide from atmosphere and releases oxygen.

Heterotrophic nutrition is depending for food on autotrophs. Humans, animals are heterotrophic organisms.

Saprotrophic nutrition is seen in bread moulds, fungi. They depend on dead and decaying matters for their nutrition. They have hyphae to extract nutrition from the surface where they grow on.
