Concept explainers

Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."

3. Make a table that best matches the following set of animals and crops with the soil unit most suitable for the crop or animal use, given the following information: Agricultural use: Walnuts do best with deep, well-drained soil. Lettuce can produce excellent crops in soils that have a good topsoil (A horizon) but a somewhat dense subsoil (B horizon) that has slow permeability. Wheat can produce very high yields without being irrigated if there is a high water table (in other words, a shallow depth to the water table).
