Heterotrophic nutrition

Image
                               Heterotrophic nutrition in plants    Heterotrophic nutrition   is a type of   nutrition   in which organisms depend upon other organisms for food to survive.   Heterotrophic   organisms have to take in all the organic substances they need to survive. All animals, fungi, and non photosynthesizing plants   are   heterotrophic .     Some plants do not contain chlorophyll and depend on other plants for their food through the heterotrophic mode of nutrition. These type of nutrition in plants are referred to as  Heterotrophic nutrition   in plants, hence are called parasites. Heterotrophic Plants Listed below are different types of heterotrophic plants that are mainly classified based on their mode of nutrition: Parasitic Insectivorous Saprophytic Symbiotic Parasitic Nutrition Some heterotrophic plants depend on other plants and animals for nutrition. Such plants are known as parasitic plants. However, the host is not benefitted from the parasite. For eg., Cusc

Structure of Chloroplast

Image
      Chloroplast Definition “Chloroplast is an organelle that contains the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll that captures sunlight and converts it into useful energy, thereby, releasing oxygen from water. “ What is a Chloroplast? Chloroplasts are found in all green plants and algae. They are the food producers of plants. These are found in the guard cells located in the leaves of the plants. They contain a high concentration of chlorophyll that traps sunlight. This  cell organelle  is not present in animal cells. Chloroplast has its own DNA and can reproduce independently, from the rest of the cell. They also produce amino acids and lipids required for the production of chloroplast membrane.   Structure of Chloroplast Chloroplasts are found in all higher plants. It is oval or biconvex, found within the mesophyll of the  plant cell.  The size of the chloroplast usually varies between 4-6 µm in diameter and 1-3 µm in thickness. They are double-membrane organelle with the presence of o
