Answer:
nutrition
न्युˈट्रिश्न्
the food that you eat and the way that it affects your health
स्वास्थ्य को पुष्ट करने वाला भोजन, पोषाहार
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms — both plants and animals — for
photosynthesis
ˌफ़ोटोˈसिन्थ़सिस्
noun
the process by which green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into food using energy from sunlight
सूर्य के प्रकाश से हरे पौधों द्वारा कार्बन डाइ-ऑक्साइड और जल को भोजन का रूप देने की प्रक्रिया; प्रकाश-संश्लेषण; फ़ोटोसिंथीसिस
Answer:
Nutrition
Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet, health, and disease. Nutritionists use ideas from molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics to understand how nutrients affect the human body
Autotrophs
living organism which can prepare their own food by their own are known as autotrophs.
Heterotrophs
living organism which can depend on other plants or animals for their food are known as heterotrophs.
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
Nitrogen Fixation
Nitrogen fixation is a process by which molecular nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia (NH. 3) or related nitrogenous compounds in soil. Atmospheric nitrogen is molecular dinitrogen, a relatively nonreactive molecule that is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms.
