Hetereotrophic mode of nutrition for class 10th biology

2. Hetereotrophic mode of nutrition:- In this mode of nutrition organisms obtain their food from other organisms. These organisms are totaly dependent on other organisms for food. e.g Animals,Human beings, Fungi

It has following sub types 
1. Holozoic nutrition:- In this mode of nutrition an organism englough food and than digest it inside the body. e.g human being , Bird 

2.Saprophytic Nutrition:- In this mode of nutrition organisms obtain their food from dead and decaying organic matter. These organisms grow on dead organic matter and screate digestive enzymes on the organic matter to digest it and than absorb the digested food. e.g Fungi (Mushrooms, bread moulds)

3.Paracitic mode of nutrition:-In this mode of nutrition organism takes the digested food of other organism by living on it. E.g Ascaris, E.coli, Tap worm , liver flukes ,lice etc . The organisms showing this type of nutrition are called as Paracites and the organism on which paracite lives is called as Host.

Paracites are of two types
●Exo-paracites:-The paracites which lives outside on the body of host are called Endo-paracites. e.g Lice

●Endo-Parcites:-The paracites which lives inside the body of host are called Endo-paracites. e.g Ascaris, E.coli , liver flukes

  MODES OF REPRODUCTION USED BY SINGLE ORGANISMS                                                            Part 1 The modes by which various organisms reproduce depend on the body design of the organisms. Unicellular organisms reproduce by means of following processes:- Fission:-   Fission is the process of spliting of unicelluar organisms or single celled organisms into the two are more than two cells, each cell forms the new individual. The new individual formed is exact copy of parent cell. Fission is of two types:-            A) Binary Fission:-  when the single parent cell divides into two new daughter cells, each new                                                ...

Absorption of Nutrients in Small Intestines

The digested food is now in simple form and is ready to use by cells. The inner wall of small intestines is called as Mucosa, it has numerous finger like projections called as Villi (singular- villus), which in-turn has finger like projections called as micro-villi. The purpose of villus is to provide large surface area for nutrient absorption. Villi have large network of blood capillaries, where the nutrients are absorbed in blood by diffusion.Most of the nutrients are absorbed in jejunum. except Iron is absorbed in duodenum  vitamin B12 and bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum. Through blood digested food reaches to each and every cell of the body.

Digestion in Human Beings for class 10th

Digestion As the Human Beings show Holozoic mode of nutrition , theres is a system in Human Beings which Digests this food into the simple molecules called Gollucose. Digestion:- The process in which an organism breaks complex food molecules into simpler once for respiration is called digestion. Q.1 what is need to Digest food?  As the food is in complex form , body cells cannot use it directly so there is a need to change its form from complex to simple one. Digestion in Human Beings Digestion In Human Beings starts from mouth.The cavity inside the mouth is called as Buccal cavity.Buccal cavity contains Teeth and Tongue.In mouth food is broken into small pieces with the help of Teeth and is mixed with saliva secreated by Salivary gland. Saliva contains digestive enzymes called as Salivary Amilase (Ptylin).These enzymes digest food to some extend.Tongue in a mouth helps in mixing food with saliva and is also percieves the taste of the food. The food than enters i...
