TYPES OF NUTRITIONS
“Autotrophic nutrition is a process where an organism prepares
its own food from a simple inorganic material like water, mineral
salts and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.” The term
“autotrophic” is formed by the combination of two terms, “auto”
meaning self, and “trophic” meaning nutrition.
Nutrition in
Plants
Heterotrophic nutrition is a mode of nutrition in which organisms
depend upon other organisms for food to survive. They can'tmake their own food like Green plants. Heterotrophic organisms
have to take in all the organic substances they need to survive.

working together to convert food into energy for the body.
Anatomically, the digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal
tract, along with accessory organs such as the liver, pancreas and
gallbladder. The hollow organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract
(Gl tract) include the mouth, stomach, oesophagus, small intestine
and large intestine that contains the rectum and anus.
Human Digestive System and Nutrition involve the intake of food by
an organism and its utilization for energy. This is a vital process which
helps living beings to obtain their energy from various sources. The
food which we eat undergoes much processing before the nutrients
present in them are utilized to generate energy. This processing is
known as digestion. Humans and other animals have specialized
organs and systems for this process.
The digestion process involves the alimentary canal along with various
accessory organs and organ systems. In humans, the process is quite
simple due to our monogastric nature. This means that we have a
one-chambered stomach, unlike other animals such as cows, which
have four chambers.append
Digestion is the complex process of turning the food you eat into
nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth and cell repair
needed to survive. The digestion process also involves creating waste
to be eliminated.
The digestive tract (or gastrointestinal tract) is a long twisting tube that
starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. It is made up of a series of
muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that
produce enzymes and hormones to aid in the breakdown of food.
Along the way are other ‘accessory’ organs that are needed for
digestion: liver and the pancreas.The human respiratory system is a system of organs responsible for
inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide in humans. The
important respiratory organs in humans include- lungs, gills, trachea,
and skin.
The important functions of the respiratory system include- inhalation
and exhalation of gases, exchange of gases between bloodstream
and lungs, the gaseous exchange between bloodstream and body
tissues, olfaction and vibration of vocal cords.The human circulatory system consists of a network of arteries, veins,
and capillaries, with the heart pumping blood through it. Its primary
role is to provide essential nutrients, minerals, and hormones to
various parts of the body. Alternatively, the circulatory system is also
responsible for collecting metabolic waste and toxins from the cells
and tissues to be purified or expelled from the body.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs. These are located on
each side of the vertebral column. It performs the filtration blood
to produce excretory fluid or urine. The structural and functional
unit of the kidney is nephron. A nephron consists of: Bowman’s
capsule, glomerulus, proximal tubule, Henle’s loop, distal tubule
and collecting duct.
-Renal arteries carry blood (to be filtered) to the kidneys from
heart and renal veins carry filtered blood from kidneys to the
inferior vena cava.
.- The kidneys open into the ureters at renal hilum. Ureters are
tubes, each of which attach to a kidney and carries urine from
kidneys to the urinary bladder.-. Ureters open into the urinary bladder which is a muscular sac.
These urine is stored temporarily. When filled, it contracts and
passes the urine to the urethra.
-A thin, fibro-muscular tube called urethra carries the urine from
urethra to the exterior.Aneuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell
body or soma (see image below), which can be represented as
the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively.
Dendrites- They are responsible for the receiving of the signal.
Cell Body- It is the part where the signal from dendrites integrate,
it contains the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is the metabolic centre
of the cell.
Axon- It is the long-tailed structure of neurons, it is myelinated by
oligodendrocytes in CNS and Schwann cells in PNS. It carries
the electrical impulse out from the cell body.
Axon Terminals- They are the knob like structure present at the
end of the axon, they contain various neurotransmitters and
VGIC (voltage-gated ion channels. They are responsible for
transmitting the electrical signal into a chemical signal in the
synapse.Synapse - It is the space between two neurons. It is responsible
for the unidirectional movement of the signal.
The brain is one of the important, largest and central organ of the
human nervous system. It is the control unit of the nervous system,
which helps us in discovering new things, remembering and
understanding, making decisions, and a lot more.
Anatomically, the brain consists of the following parts:
Forebrain. Cerebrum. Hypothalamus. Thalamus.
Midbrain. Tectum. Tegmentum.
Hindbrain. Cerebellum. Medulla. Pons.

Budding in hydra:-
Budding in hydra involves a small bud which is developed from
its parent hydra through the repeated mitotic division of its cells.
The small bud then receives its nutrition from the parent hydra
and grows healthy. Growth starts by developing small tentacles
and the mouth.
Budding in yeast:-
In yeast, budding usually occurs during the abundant supply of
nutrition. In this process of reproduction, a small bud arises as
an outgrowth of the parent body. Later the nucleus of the parent
yeast is separated into two parts and one of the nuclei shifts into
the bud.
-¢ 34-6What are sexual reproduction in flowering plants?
In flowering plants, male and female reproductive structures can
be found in the same individual plant. The organ of sexual
reproduction is the flower. Male gametes are found in pollen
grains and produced in the anthers of the flower. Female
gametes are found in ovules and produced in the ovary of the
flower.
In the parent plant, both the male and the female sex cells
known as gametes must be present. When these gametes of
both male and female sex cells combine, then offspring
produces. This process is known as fertilisation. Through
fertilisation, seeds are produced and it contains genetic material
from both the parents.
Stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower, while pistil is
the female reproductive part of a flower. The stamen is
surrounded by anther and filament. The anthers produce pollen
grains.

filamentAll human beings undergo a sexual mode of reproduction. In this
process, two parents are involved in producing a new individual.
Offspring are produced by the fusion of gametes (sex cells) from
each parent. Hence, the newly formed individual will be different
from parents, both genetically and physically.
The testes in males and the ovaries in females are responsible
for the production of sperm in males and eggs in females. The
sperm fuses with the egg during fertilization, which results in the
formation of a zygote and gets implanted in the wall of the
uterus.
Male reproductive system
The male reproductive system includes the testes, scrotum,
spermatic ducts, male accessory glands, and penis. All these
organs work together to produce sperms, the male gamete, male
sex hormones and other components of semen. Penis and
Urethra are a part of both the reproductive and urinary systems.Oviduet or

Female reproductive system
The primary sex organs in females are a pair of ovaries, which
produce ova or egg and they also secrete female sex hormones
like progesterone and estrogen. The other accessory sex organs
include the uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix and vagina. The
external genitalia comprises the labia minora, labia majora and
clitoris.-All children will inherit an X chromosome from their mother,
despite whether they are a boy or girl. Thus, the sex of the
children will be determined by the type of chromosome inherited
from their father. A child who inherits Y chromosome will be a
boy and who inherits X chromosome will be a girl.
-The sex of the baby is determined by the type of male gamete
that fuses with the female gamete. If the fertilizing sperm
contains X chromosome, then the baby produced will be a girl
and if the fertilizing sperm contains Y chromosome, then the
baby produced will be a boy.
