Write differences between (ASI)
a) autotrophic nutrition - heterotrophic nutrition
10 c) Light reaction - dark reaction
b) Ingestion - digestion
d) Chlorophyll - chloroplast
Answers
Answer:
Autotrophs are organisms that prepare their own food through the process of photosynthesis, whereas heterotrophs are organisms that cannot prepare their own food and depend upon autotrophs for nutrition.”
The light reaction is the initial stage of photosynthesis which traps light energy to produce ATP and NADPH, whereas dark reaction is the second step of photosynthesis which utilizes the energy from ATP and NADPH to produce glucose.
The main difference between ingestion and digestion is that ingestion is the taking of food into the body whereas digestion is the breakdown of food into small molecules that can be absorbed by the body. Ingestion can be taking food either into the mouth in animals or into the cytoplasm in protozoans.
Chlorophyll refers to a pigment responsible for the green colour in plants. Chloroplasts are organelles within a plant cell, acting as the site for photosynthesis. Pigment necessary for photosynthesis. Chloroplast is the region where photosynthesis occurs.
