The document discusses different types of nutrition in plants including photosynthesis, heterotrophs, parasitic plants, saprophytes, and symbiosis. It explains that photosynthesis allows plants to produce their own food using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, water and sunlight while heterotrophs and parasitic plants rely on other organisms for nutrition.

Plants Notes
• Nutrition refers to how an organism consumes food
and how the body processes it.
• Nutrients are the components of food that give the
body nutrition.
• All creatures consume food and use it to obtain
energy for body growth and upkeep.
• Photosynthesis is the mechanism through which
green plants produce their own food. They are
autotrophic organisms.
• Photosynthesis: In the presence of sunshine, green
plants prepare their own food using chlorophyll
(found in green plants), carbon dioxide, and water
absorbed from the environment. Photosynthesis is
the name for this process. For food synthesis, plants
use simple chemical ingredients such as carbon
dioxide, water, and minerals.
• For photosynthesis to occur, chlorophyll and
sunshine are required. Photosynthesis produces
complex chemical compounds such as sugars.
• With the help of chlorophyll, solar energy is stored in
the form of food in the leaves. During photosynthesis,
oxygen is created.
• Living species use the oxygen generated during
photosynthesis to survive.
• Fungi get their food from rotting, dead things. They
are saprotrophs or saprotrophic organisms. Cuscuta
plants are parasitic. They eat the host plant's food.
• Heterotrophs are plants and animals that rely on
others for their nutrition.
• Parasitic Creatures are parasitic organisms that live
on the bodies of other organisms.
• All parasitic plants eat other plants in one of two
ways:
A. Partial Parasites: They get some of their
sustenance from the host, for example, a painted
cup.
B. Total Parasites, such as mistletoe, are fully
reliant on the host for nourishment.
• Saprophytic organisms are those that feed on dead
and decaying plant and animal debris.
Mushrooms, molds, and some fungi and bacteria are
examples.
• Insectivorous Plants: Green plants that get their
nutrition from both the soil and the atmosphere, as
well as small insects. Pitcher plant, bladderwort, and
Venus flytrap, for example.
• Symbiosis is a type of nutrition in which two or more
individuals work together to meet their nutritional
needs.
• The relationship between algae and fungus can be
seen in the form of lichens on tree trunks. The fungus
provides water to algae, and algae provide food to
fungus.
