NUTRITION IN PLANT
•It is the study of the chemical elements and compounds that are necessary for plant
growth, and also of their external supply and internal metabolism. In 1972, E. Epstein
defined two criteria for an element to be essential for plant growth:
• in its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle; or
• that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• It isthe process by which plants prepare food by using carbon dioxide and water in
the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.The food prepared is carbohydrate which is
stored in the form of starch. Oxygen is released during this Process.
• EQUATION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
• Sunlight
• 6CO2 + 12H2O ------------> C6H12O6 + 6H20 + 602
Chlorophyll

PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesismainly takes place in three steps:
• Absorption of Light Energy By Chlorophyll.
• Conversion of Light energy into Chemical energy and splitting up of water molecules
into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
• Reduction of Carbon Dioxide by Hydrogen to form Carbohydrates.

ANIMAL NUTRITION
• Animalnutrition:-
The mode of taking food by an organism and its utilization in the body is called
nutrition.
Animals get their food directly or indirectly from plants.
Animal nutrition:- includes the nutrient requirement, mode of taking food, and its
utilization in the body.
Digestion:-The process by which complex food substances are broken down into
simpler substances is called digestion.
7.
• Different waysof taking food:-
Name of animal Kind of food Mode of feeding
Snail Grass Chewing
Ant Insects Scrapping
Eagle Flesh Swallowing
Humming bird Nectar Sucking
Mosquito Blood Sucking
Butterfly Nectar Sucking
Housefly Decaying matter Brewing
NUTRITION IN HUMANBEINGS
• Nutrition in human beings take place in the digestive system. It consists of the
alimentary canal and glands which produce enzymes which breaks down food into
smaller molecules.
• The main organs of the digestive system are mouth, esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine and anus.
• The main glands are salivary glands, gastric glands, liver, pancreas and intestinal
glands.
XYLEM VESSELS
• Arelong, hollow, continuous tubes that carry water and dissolved minerals from the
root up to all parts of the plant.
• Contain a tough substance called lignin that lines the walls to provide support.
12.
PHOLEM VESSELS
• Phloemtubes are living cells with
end tubes with pores (sieve plate).
• All cell contents have disappeared
except the cytoplasm
• The phloem cells have companion
cells near them.
• Phloem cells transport sucrose and
amino acids from where they are made
to where they are used or stored.
13.
CIRCULATION SYSTEM
• Thecirculation of substances in the human body is a crucial life process that involves
the transport of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body via the
circulatory system. This system, consisting of the heart, blood, and blood vessels,
plays a vital role in maintaining the health and functionality of the body.
• Key Components of the Circulatory System:
o Heart
o Blood
o Blood Vessels
14.
• Heart:- Theheart is a muscular organ that acts as a pump, driving the circulation of
blood throughout the body. It has four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) that
work together to efficiently pump blood
• Blood:- Blood is a fluid connective tissue that transports various substances
throughout the body. It contains red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs),
platelets, and plasma.
• Blood vessels:- These are a network of tubes that carry blood throughout the body,
including arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart,
veins carry blood back to the heart, and capillaries are responsible for the exchange
of substances between blood and tissues.
15.
FUNCTIONS OF THECIRCULATORY SYSTEM
• Transport of Oxygen and Nutrients:
The circulatory system delivers oxygen from the lungs and nutrients absorbed from the
digestive system to all cells and tissues in the body.
• Removal of Waste Products:
The system also transports carbon dioxide (a waste product of cellular respiration) and
other metabolic waste products from the cells to organs like the kidneys and lungs for
removal.
16.
• Hormone Transport:
Hormonesproduced by endocrine glands are also transported throughout the body by
the circulatory system to reach their target organs.
• Immune Function:
The circulatory system plays a role in the immune system by transporting white blood
cells to fight infections and pathogens.
• Temperature Regulation:
The circulatory system helps regulate body temperature by transporting heat
throughout the body and facilitating its release.
17.
EXCRETION
• In themouth:The food is broken into smaller particles by the teeth
and mixed with saliva from the salivary glands. Saliva contains the
enzymes salivary amylase which converts starch into sugar.Then
the food passes through the oesophagus.
• In the stomach:The gastric glands produce gastric juice
• which contains the enzyme pepsin Hcl and mucous. Pepsin breaks
down proteins. Hcl makes the medium acidic and helps in the action
of pepsin. Mucous protects the wall of the stomach from the action
of the acid.Then the food passes into the small intestine.
18.
• In theupper part of the small intestine (duodenum):
The food is mixed with bile from liver and pancreatic juice from the pancreas. Bile breaks
down fats into globules. Pancreatic juice the enzymes trypsin and lipase.Trypsin breaks
down proteins and lapse breaks down fats.
• In the small intestine :
The glands the walls of the small intestine produces intestinal juice.The enzymes of the
intestinal juice converts carbohydrates into. glucose fats into fatty acids, and glycerol and
proteins into amino acids.The walls of the small intestine has several finger like
projections called villi having blood vessels.The digested food is absorbed by the blood
and the undigested food passes to the large intestine.
• In the large intestine:
Water is absorbed and the waste materials is removed through the anus.
