    Nutrition refers to how organisms obtain and process food. Green plants produce their own food through photosynthesis using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water with the help of sunlight. Photosynthesis produces sugars and oxygen. Heterotrophs rely on other organisms for food, including parasitic plants and fungi that feed on host organisms, and saprophytic fungi and bacteria that feed on dead and decaying matter. Symbiosis describes relationships where different organisms work together to meet nutritional needs, such as lichens where algae and fungi mutually benefit.

    Class - 7 Science

    Chapter 1 - Nutrition in plants

    • Nutrition refers to how an organism consumes food and how the body
    processes it.

    • Nutrients are the components of food that give the body with 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, moulds, 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 fly trap, 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. Fungus provides water to algae, and algae provides
    food to fungus.
