Necessary conditions for autotrophic nutrition and what are its by-products
Answers
Answer:
The necessary conditions needed for autotrophic mode of nutrition are sunlight , minerals, carbon dioxide and water.
The by - product is the release of oxygen and making of starch for its own food through the process of photosynthesis.
Hope it helps you my friend.
Autotrophic nutrition is a process where the organism prepares its food from the simple inorganic materials like water, mineral salts and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. All the green plants possess an autotrophic mode of nutrition.
The autotrophic organisms contain a green coloured pigment called chlorophyll which helps in trapping energy from the sun. They prepare their own food by utilizing solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide by the process of photosynthesis. This results in forming of glucose.
The conditions that are necessary for autotrophic nutrition (to perform photosynthesis) are water and minerals (obtained from soil), carbon dioxide (obtained from atmosphere) in the presence of chlorophyll (present in the leaves of plant) and sunlight.
