Topic Of The Day #Nutrition #Saprophytic Nutrition#funscience #Sciencepedia #Topic of the day #Nutrition #Saprophytic Nutrition In saprophytic nutrition the #organisms obtain their #food from #dead and #decaying #organic matter of dead #plants, dead #animals and other #decomposing organic matter. And the organisms which obtain their food from dead and decaying organic matter of dead plants, dead animals and other organic matter are called saprophytes. Fungi, bread #mould, some #protists and many #bacteria are saprophytic in nutrition. In this type, the saprophytic organisms like fungi release #digestive #enzymes in their surrounding medium to convert the complex organic molecules such as sugars in simple forms such as #glucose. This simple food is then absorbed through the body surface, and utilized for various activities by #fungus. - See more at: http://www.funscience.in/study-zone/Biology/Nutrition/SaprophyticNutrition.phpNov 25, 2014, 5:19 PM
Holozoic Nutrition#funscience #Sciencepedia #Topic of the day #Nutrition #Holozoic Nutrition A #heterotrophic #organism can obtain its #food from other organisms in following three ways: 1.Holozoic nutrition 2.#Saprophytic nutrition 3.#Parasitic nutrition Holozoic nutrition Holozoic nutrition takes place in those organisms which take #solid or #liquid food through the #mouth inside their #body Examples of organisms having holozoic mode of nutrition are #human #beings, #dog, #cat, #lion, #deer, #crow, #frog and #Digestion #process of a #Humanfish etc. This #process takes place in following steps: 1. #Ingestion The process of taking food inside the body is called ingestion. 2. #Digestion In digestion the #ingested food is converted into simple form with the help of digestive #enzymes. 3. Absorption In this stage the food digested in second step is absorbed into the #cells of #body. 4. #Assimilation Assimilation is the process of utilizing the food absorbed in third step by various cells of the body. 5. #Egestion Egestion is the final step of holozoic nutrition in which the undigested food is removed from the body. - See more at: http://www.funscience.in/study-zone/Biology/Nutrition/HolozoicNutrition.phpNov 23, 2014, 11:34 AM
Autotrophic Nutrition#funscience #Sciencepedia #Topic of the day #Autotrophic #Nutrition All the #organisms do not have same mode of nutrition, i.e. different organisms have different methods of obtaining and utilizing #food. Based on the mode of nutrition, all the living organisms can be classified in two groups: 1. Autotrophic and 2. #Heterotrophic Autotrophic nutrition Autotrophic Nutritional #Plant The term ‘#autotroph’ consists of two words ‘#auto’ and ‘#troph’. ‘Auto’ means ‘#self’ and ‘troph’ means ‘nutrition’. So , in autotrophic mode of nutrition the food is manufactured by the organism itself in the presence of #sunlight by taking in #raw #materials such as #carbon #dioxide or #water from the #surrounding All the green plants, blue green #algae and autotrophic bacteria have autotrophic mode of nutrition. Such organisms which can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by taking carbon dioxide and water from their surroundings are called autotrophs. Green plants and autotrophic #bacteria are the examples of autotrophs. These organisms contain a green colouring pigment called #chlorophyll which is capable of trapping #solar #energy. This solar energy is then used by plants to synthesize food in the form of starch by combining carbon dioxide and water taken from the surrounding by the process of photosynthesis. It should be noted that green plants are also called #producers because they prepare or produce their own food from carbon dioxide and water by using sunlight. - See more at: http://www.funscience.in/study-zone/Biology/Nutrition/AutotrophicNutrition.phpNov 13, 2014, 4:48 PM
Nutrition#funscience.in #Sciencepedia #Topic of the day #Nutrition All the #living #organisms need #food to get #energy to carry out their #activities, #growth and #repair. #Plants make their food by utilizing the #solar energy by the process of #photosynthesis. But, #animals depend on plants directly or indirectly for their food. Food which gives nutrition The process of taking food and utilizing it for growth, providing energy to the living #cells to carry out their activities and #repair is called nutrition. We know that food contains many different useful #substances, such as #proteins, #carbohydrates, #fats, #vitamins and #minerals. All these components of food are called #nutrient. Actually, the term ‘nutrition’ is derived from the word ‘nutrient’. A nutrient can be defined as a substance which provides nutrition - See more at: http://www.funscience.in/study-zone/Biology/Nutrition/Nutrition.phpNov 11, 2014, 5:42 PM

Puzzle - Digital King#funscience #puzzle of the day.. #digital #king A ruthless king has a cellar of 1,000 bottles of very expensive wine. An assassin infiltrates the wine cellar to poison the wine. Fortunately the king’s guards catch the plotter after she has poisoned only one bottle. Unfortunately, the guards don’t know which one of the bottles is poisoned. The poison is so strong that no amount of dilution will make it safe to drink. Furthermore, it takes one month to have an effect. The ruthless king decides he will get some of the prisoners in his vast dungeons to test the wine. Being an intelligent, if ruthless, king, he knows he needs to sacrifice fewer than 10 prisoners and know for a certainty which one of the wine bottles was poisoned. How does he know that?Sep 17, 2014, 5:07 PM
