Question

Name the Following:
1. The Process by which organisms take in nutrients to use for life processes.
2. The bean Shaped cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.
3. The type of organism that derives its nutrition from living organisms.
4. The group of organisms that break down organic matter and release nutrients into
environment.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. nutrition
2. guard cells
3. heterotrophs
4. Detritivores must digest organic material within their bodies in order to break it down and gain nutrients from it. ... Organisms that are detritivores include invertebrates such as earthworms, woodlice, sea stars, slugs, and fiddler crabs.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Nutrition is the process by which organisms take in nutrients to use for life processes.

2. The bean Shaped cells that control the opening and closing of stomata are called guard cells.

3. Parasites are organism that derives its nutrition from living organisms.

4. Decomposers are the group of organisms that break down organic matter and release nutrients into the environment.

Explanation:

(i) Nutrition is the process through which living organisms consume food and use it to gain nutrients for growth, development, and repair. These nutrients consist of numerous components such as carbs, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, transport, assimilation, and elimination are the nutritional phases involved in extracting nutrients from the consumed food.

(ii)A stoma is surrounded by two kidney-shaped cells called guard cells. They regulate gaseous exchange in and out of plant leaves by regulating the opening and closing of pores known as stomas. They are also the conduits through which water from the leaves is discharged into the environment. They have been shown to include chloroplasts, making them a location of photosynthesis in addition to regulating gaseous exchange (as well as water release from leaves).

(iii) A parasite is a living entity that feeds on other living organisms. It lives on or inside the host organism and feeds on the host to gain nutrients. Thus, making it reliant on the host for survival. Protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites are the three important classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans.

(iv) Decomposers, such as bacteria, fungus, and invertebrates like insects and worms, can break down dead organisms into basic inorganic matter, releasing nutrients for primary producers. They play an important part in the flow of energy through an ecosystem and can be utilized to restore the natural nutrient cycle through controlled composting.
