What is Autotrophic Nutrition?

 

The word “Autotrophic” is the combination of two terms – Auto (self) and Tropic (nutrition), and the exact definition is self-nutrition. In the presence of sunlight, an organism creates its own food from basic inorganic materials such as water, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. The nutritional pattern of all green plants is autotrophic.



Autotrophic species have a green pigment called "chlorophyll" that aids in the absorption of solar energy. With the aid of carbon dioxide, water, and solar energy, they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Glucose is generated in this manner.
 
Some examples of autotrophic nutrition are plants like cyanobacteria and blue-green algae.


 
What is the nutritional value of plants?
 
To ensure that life processes run smoothly, every living organism needs some sort of energy and nutrient substances. Furthermore, the requisite energy is obtained from the food.





What are the nutrition requirements for plants?

Plants have cells and tissues and are also a part of living things that need some form of energy. They are the creators of the ecosystem; they also grow in girth and size. They do not have the essential nutrients to create their own food. Thus, the kind of nutrient requirement differs.

In plants, this type of nutrition is known as the “autotrophic mode of nutrition”. This actually means that the plants have the special ability to make their own food by using simple inorganic substances to harvest organic substances. They get energy sources from non-living things such as the sun and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
