Nutrition and Respiration
Introduction
• Every organisms performs different activities for that
it requires energy.
• This energy is obtained by different modes of
nutrition.
• There are basically two types of organisms :
Introduction cont….
•
The entire process of ingestion of food
conversion into easily absorbable components
and transport to the different cells is called
Introduction cont….
•
The process of getting energy from nutritive
substances is carried out by cells which is
called
Cellular Respiration
.
•
Due to this process energy is released which

Nutrition
• Process of intake of nutrients from which
organisms derive energy to work is called
Nutrition.
• A substance which supply nutrients to the body is
called diet or food.
• The food contains fats, protiens, vitamins, water
Autotrophic Nutrition
•
Auto = self
•
Trophe = nutrition
Autotrophic Nutrition cont….
• The carbohydrates provide energy to our body and
the carbohydrates that are not used are stored in our body in form of Starch.
• The energy derived from the food which is stored
Steps in photosynthesis
1. Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
2. Conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
Steps in photosynthesis cont….
• The plants take CO2 from the atmosphere for
photosynthesis. The CO2 enters the plant
through stomata present on the surface of the leaf.
• The stomata are also present in the green stems
Steps in photosynthesis cont….
• Each stomatum consists of minute pore
surrounded by a pair of guard cells.
• The opening and closing of the stomata are
controlled by the guard cells.
• When water enters guard cells, it becomes turgid
Steps in photosynthesis cont….
• When the guard cells loose water they shrink and
cause the pore to close..
• Aquatic plants use dissolved CO2 in water to
2. Heterotrophic Nutrition
• Organism cannot synthesis their own food by
using sunlight etc.
• In this mode of nutrition after the intake, food is
Types of Heterotrophic Nutrition
a. Saprophytic nutrition
b. Parasitic nutrition
(a) Saprophytic nutrition
• Here the dead and decaying organic materials are
absorbed through the walls of the organisms.
• The organisms depend entirely on the non-living
substances.
(b) Parasitic nutrition
• When organisms depend on another organisms
for their nutrition them this mode of nutrition is called parasitic mode of nutrition.
(c) Holozoic nutrition
• In this type of nutrition mode the parts of the
plant or animal or the whole organisms is taken in as food which is then digested with the help of the digestive enzymes into simpler substances.
• Undigested food is thrown out of the body by the
Type of organisms
• Herbivores
• Carnivores
Phagocytosis in Paramecium
•
The unicellular animal paramecium has thin
hair like
cillia
all over the body.
•
Through sweeping of cillia the food particle
Mechanism Of Breathing
• Pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
• If Pressure increases then volume decreases and
vice versa.
• During inspiration pressure inside decreases as
Respiration
• Cells require energy to perform various functions
which is derived from the oxidation of the food.
• The process of releasing energy from food is
called respiration.
• The process involves inspiration, then removal of
Respiration in plants
• Since the energy is released in the cells this is also
Types of Respiration
• Aerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
• The respiration that takes place in presence of
oxygen is called aerobic respiration. It takes place inside the cell.
• During this food (glucose) is broken into CO2 and
water in presence of O2 + energy (ATP).
Anaerobic respiration
• The respiration that takes place in absence of
oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. It takes place inside the cell.
• This mode of respiration is seen in fungi, yeasts,
Anaerobic respiration cont….
• During this food (glucose) is broken into ethanol
and CO2 + energy (ATP).
• Glucose Pyruvic acid CO2 + Ethanol + 2 ATP
• Glucose Pyruvic acid CO2 + Lactic acid + 2 ATP
Cytoplasm No Oxygen
Respiration in Plants
• Plants also need energy like animals.
• Plants use oxygen from air and release CO2. The
ways:-Comparing Respiration in Plants & Animals
• All parts of the plants (roots, stem and leaf)
perform respiration independently.
• There is a little transport of gases from one part to
the another.
• Respiration in plants occur at much slower rate than
Respiration in Plants
• The roots of the plants take oxygen for respiration
from the air present between soil particles by the process of diffusion.
• The CO2 gas produced inside is diffused out
Respiration in Plants
• The stems and leaves have stomata for the exchange
of the gases.
• The hard and woody stems do not have stomata
Respiration in Animals
• Different animals has different modes of
respiration. In unicellular organisms like amoeba the respiration takes place through diffusion.
• In Insects tracheae are the respiratory organs.
• Aquatic animals like fish and crab have gills to take
Respiration in Animals cont….
• In frog, Lizard, Birds and human beings lungs are
the respiratory organs.
Human Digestive System
• Digestive system consists of alimentary canal and
associated glands.
• The human digestive organs are mouth,
oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large
Human Digestive System cont..
• Mouth is the special organ for ingestion
(receiving in). Inside the mouth food mixes with saliva due to which the food wets and can be
swallowed easily.
• Buccal cavity consists of tongue, teeth's and
Human Digestive System cont..
• Salivary glands secret an enzyme called amylase
that digests starch of food into maltose so the digestion of starch starts from the mouth.
• Then the food goes to oesophagus and then to
Human Digestive System cont..
•
The food churns for about three hours and
converted to semisolid paste.
•
The walls of the stomach has three tubular
Human Digestive System cont..
• Gastric juice contains dil.HCl, pepsinogen
(enzyme) and mucus that protects the walls of the stomach from its own secretion of HCl and
Pepsinogen.
• Pepsin digests protein into small molecules and
Human Digestive System cont..
• Then the food digests into small intestine from
stomach which is controlled by sphincter muscle.
• The small intestine is about 6.5 m in long. The
Human Digestive System cont..
• Herbivore animals have larger intestine and
carnivore animals have small as meat is easy to digest compared to grass.
• Small intestine completely digests carbohydrates,
Human Digestive System cont..
• Small intestine receives bile juice and pancreatic
juice for proper digestion of food.
• Liver secrets bile juice which is greenish yellow
Human Digestive System cont..
• The pancreatic juice contains enzyme like amalyse,
trypsin and lipase.
• The glands of small intestine secrete intestinal juice
which contains various enzymes for digestion which completely digests Carbohydrates into glucose,
Name of Enzyme Nutrient being acted upon
Amalyse starch
trypsin proteins
Human Digestive System cont..
• Villi (finger like projections) in small intestine are
the main site in small intestine. This increases the surface area of absorption.
Human Respiratory system
•
It consists of Nostril, nasal passage, pharynx,
laropharynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and
diaphragm.
•
Nostrils open into nasal cavities. The air for
Human Respiratory system
•
Nasal cavity is lined by fine hairs and mucus.
Dust particles and microbes in air gets trapped
in mucus of nasal cavity.
•
Nasal cavity ends in internal nostril through
Human Respiratory system
•
Pharynx leads to trachea through a slit called
glottis.
•
Glottis is protected by a cartilaginous flap like
Human Respiratory system
•
While swallowing food glottis is covered by
epiglottis so food cannot enter trachea.
•
Trachea does collapse even when there is no
Human Respiratory system
•
At the upper end of trachea has a voice box
known as
larynx.
•
Trachea runs down the neck and divides into
two bronchi which leads to lungs.
•
Each bronchi divides into lungs and form
Human Respiratory system
•
The smallest bronchiole terminates into
alveoli
whose walls are thin and covered with blood
