Here is a term paper on the autotrophic and heterotrophic types of nutrition in organisms. Term Paper on the Types of Nutrition Term Paper # 1. Autotrophic Nutrition: In autotrophic nutrition, an organism makes its own food from simple raw materials. Carbon and energy requirements of the autotrophic organism are fulfilled by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis- Green plants, which are autotrophic, synthesize [...]
One of the important goals of biotechnology is the production of plants with improved quality of nutrition for humans as well as for domestic animals. Improved quality of seed storage proteins by tailoring particular amino acids have major health benefits for humans and economic benefits for poultry industries. In this contrast a major target has been increasing lysine and methionine [...]
The following points highlight the five main types of autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition in bacteria. The types are: 1. Photoautotrophic Bacteria 2. Chemoautotrophic Bacteria 3. Saprophytic Bacteria 4. Symbiotic Bacteria 5. Parasitic Bacteria. Type # 1. Photoautotrophic Bacteria: The bacteria possess photosynthetic pigments of two types, bacteriochlorophyll and bacteriophaeophytin (chlorobium chlorophyll). The two types of pigments respectively occur in purple [...]
