Answer:
the basic function performed by living organism to maintain their life on this earth are called life process
following are the life process activity :-
* life process --> metrobolic process
1. nutrition
2. respiration
3. transortation
4. excretion
5. control&coordition
6. reproduction
Explanation:
Answer:
- Maintenance of living organism is essential even if they are moving, resting or even sleeping.
- The processes which together perform the function of maintenance of ‘life’ are called as life processes.
- Nutrition, respiration, circulation, excretion are examples of essential life processes.
- In unicellular organisms, all these processes are carried out by that single cell.
- In multicellular organisms, well-developed systems are present to carry out the processes.
The process of acquiring food that is needed for nourishment and sustenance of the organism is called nutrition.
- There are two main modes of nutrition, autotrophic and heterotrophic.
- Heterotrophic nutrition has subtypes as holozoic, saprophytic and parasitic nutrition.
Autotrophic nutrition:-
If an organism can nourish itself by making its own food using sunlight or chemicals such mode of nutrition is called as autotrophic nutrition.
For example: Plants make their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
Heterotrophic nutrition:-
When an organism depends on others for food, such a mode of nutrition is called as a heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
1) Saprotrophic nutrition
**Some organism feed on dead and decaying organic matter. This mode of nutrition is called saprophytic nutrition.
- The food is partially digested outside the body and then it is absorbed.
- E.g. Fungi are saprophytes.
2) Parasitic nutrition
**Some organisms feed on the expense of another organism and in turn causing it harm. This is called parasitic mode of nutrition.
- These organisms live on the body or in the body of a host organism and derive the nutrients directly from the body of the host.
- E.g. Leech is an ectoparasite while Ascaris is an endoparasite. Cuscuta is a parasitic plant.
3) Holozoic mode of nutrition
** The mode of nutrition in which animals take their food as a whole is called as holozoic nutrition.
- In holozoic nutrition, food passes through five steps as ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.
- Amoeba feeds by holozoic mode of nutrition.
- Paramoecium also exhibits holozoic nutrition.
- Humans are omnivores, they can eat plant-based food as well as animal-based food.
- Being more complex, humans have a very complicated nutrition system.
- The digestive system has an alimentary canal and associated digestive glands, which together function to nourish the body.
- There are five stages in human nutrition; Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption, Assimilation and Egestion.
- Four stages i.e. ingestion, digestion, absorption and egestion take place in the alimentary canal while assimilation of food takes place in the whole body.
