Chapter 6-Nutrition

Nutrition

TermDefinition
Two types of nutrition Autotrophic nutrition and Heterotrophic nutrition
Autotrophic nutrition Is a type of nutrition in which organisms synthesise organic compounds (food) they require from inorganic substances.Energy is derived from the Sun or chemical substances.
Two types of autotrophic Chemosynthesis and Photosynthesis
Chemosynthesis Synthesising organic compounds by using energy from the oxidation of inorganic chemical substances such as carbon dioxide.Examples are sulphur bacteria which oxidises sulphur to sulphate.
Photosynthesis Synthesising organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water with the presence of sunlight.
Heterotrophic nutrition Is a type of nutrition in which organisms have to depend on autotrophs or other organisms as a source of energy as they cannot synthesise their own food.Energy is derived from the intake and digestion from plant and animal tissues.
Three types of heterotrophic Holozoic nutrition,Parasitism and Saprophytism
Holozoic nutrition Involves feeding by ingesting complex organic matter which are then digested and absorbed.
Saprophytism Involves feeding by absorbing their required nutrients from dead organic matter.
Parasitism Involves feeding by absorbing their nutrients from living organisms.
Balanced diet A balanced diet is one who contains the correct proportion of all the classes of food according to the requirements of the body.
