C-7 (ch-1 and 2)

This document discusses nutrition in plants and animals. It begins by defining nutrition and listing the modes of nutrition like autotrophic, saprotrophic, and holozoic. It then discusses photosynthesis, chlorophyll, and how plants obtain nutrients. Next it discusses nutrition in animals, listing the main steps (ingestion, digestion, absorption). It provides examples of different feeding categories and explains digestion in humans. Key aspects covered are teeth types, the digestive system, absorption in the small intestine, and differentiation between autotrophs and heterotrophs.
