Question

Give a brief description about this things -

Autotrophic,Chlorophyll,Heterotrophs ,Host,Insectivorous,Nutrient,Nutrition,Parasite,Photosynthesis, Saprotrophs

Answer 1

Autotrophic -An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria areautotrophs.

Chlorophyll-Green substance in producers that traps light energy from the sun, which is then used to combine carbon dioxide and water into sugars in the process of photosynthesis Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which helps plants get energy from light

,Heterotrophs-A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, relying instead on the intake of nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are secondary and tertiary consumer

Host- an organism that harbours a parasitic, a mutualistic, or a commensalist guest, the guest typically being provided with nourishment and shelter.


Insectivorous-An insectivore is a carnivorous plant or animal that eats insects. An alternative term is entomophage, which also refers to the human practice of eating insects. The first insectivorous vertebrates were amphibians

Nutrient-A nutrient is a substance used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce


Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion.


Parasite-an organism which lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation).

Saprotrophsan organism that feeds on or derives nourishment from decaying organic matter.
