There are several modes of nutrition in living organisms. Name the type of nutrition in which organisms prepare their own food.

• Saprotrophic

• Heterotropic

• Parasitic

• Autotropic

The nutrients helps organisms to grow, provides energy and repairs damaged parts of their body. There are certain components of food which together are known as nutrients. Which of the following is/are not components of food?

• Carbohydrates

• Fibers

• Minerals

• Proteins

Leaves are called food factories of plants as it carries out the process of photosynthesis. But besides leaves, photosynthesis also takes place in other green parts of plants. In which of the following part of plant photosynthesis does not occur

We cannot imagine life on Earth without photosynthesis, because without photosynthesis there wouldn't have been any food on Earth. During photosynthesis, sunlight is used to synthesis the food in leaves. In this process solar energy is converted into :

• Kinetic energy

• Chemical energy

• Potential energy

• Nuclear energy
