All living organisms require food. Plants can make their food themselves but animals including humans cannot. They get it from plants or animals that eat plants. Thus‚ humans and animals are directly or indirectly dependent on plants. I 1 Nutrition in Plants utilisation by the body. The mode of nutrition in which organisms make food themselves from simple substances is called autotrophic (auto = self; trophos = nourishment) nutrition. Therefore‚ plants are called autotrophs Animals autotrophs

The coniferous trees have needle-like leaves which are small and the thick cuticles help to reduce transpiration during times of strong winds and during the winter when moisture is frozen that it is unavailable for absorption by the tree roots. Cones shield the seeds and

Background Information: In plant growth‚ calcium effects the metabolic process of other nutrient uptake that is vital for growth of the plant. Calcium also strengthens the cell wall structure (It is an essential part of the cell wall);

Ecology Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment. It involves collecting information about organisms and observing their life patterns as well. Ecology is a science that seeks to explain why patterns occur the way they do. Interdependence is a key component of biology‚ meaning that all the organism interact with one another in various ways. Its very crucial for organisms since they all depend on one another

The main characteristic of a tropical rain forest biome is the presence of Warm temperatures throughout the year. In a tropical rain forest biome‚ there are three layers. These layers include the top trees‚ followed by the canopy layer characterized by dens leaves hence low light penetration and the third layer are the ground layer. The ground layer lacks any vegetation owing to
