Nutrition

The process by which organisms

obtain energy and nutrients from
food, for growth, maintenance
and repair of damaged tissues.
Living organisms can be divided
into two main groups base on their
nutritional habits:
Can synthesis foods Obtain energy
through the intake
and digestion of
organic substance
All living thing need food to live. Which are able to make food?
Algae
Cactus
Hydrilla sp. shark
Seaweed
Parrot
Hibiscus
Spider Grasshopper Human
A Brief History of the Discovery of Photosynthesis
Required ______________
(from the air) and
_________ (from the soil) to
synthesise food in the
presence of ___________
Synthesise carbohydrates
(____________) and release
_____________________
during photosynthesis.
Carry out photosynthesis in the
green parts of plants which
contain __________________.
In conclusion, scientists have shown that plants:

Physical structure of leaves
adapted for photosynthesis
Consists of a flat, thin lamina.
(flat: has a large surface to trap sunlight;
thin: light can penetrate)
The leaf of whole plant are arranged so that they
shade each other as little as possible ( the leaves
are in an optimal position for photosynthesis)
Leaf mosaic
The cross section of leaf
and adaptation of the
structure of a leaf for
photosynthesis
Draw and label this structure on a piece of paper
Support photosynthesis by
allowing the exchange of
__________ between inside
of the leaf and its
surroundings
Enable the ___________ and
__________ of stomata.
A ________________ covering which protects the leaf.
_________________ to prevent excessive water loss.
_________________, allow light to enter the leaf
Coated with cuticle. Consist of ____________ layer.
Thin and transparent. Does not contain ____________.
Allows light to penetrate the leaf and reach the light
trapping chloroplast inside
Are packed tightly together in an upright arrangement
near the upper surface of leaf.
Have high density of __________________________.
Consist of cell which have irregular ___________. (to
increase the internal surface area for ________________
exchange).
Have ___________ chloroplasts than palisade cells.
The cells are ____________ arranged.
The cell walls are coated with a firm of __________. The
moist surfaces allow gaseous exchange to take place
efficiently in the cells.
Consists of _______________ and _________________.
______________ transports mineral ions and _________
to the leaf. _______________ transports the products of
photosynthesis away from the leaf.
The cross section of leaf and adaptation of the structure
of a leaf for photosynthesis
Forms the lower protective
boundary to the leaf. Does
not contain chloroplasts
except for guard cells which
are specialised.
Action or process of adjustment to
the environment condition
Plants from different habitats show a
variety of adaptations to carry out
photosynthesis optimally.
In order to photosynthesis efficiently,
plants need to have a method for
__________ and an efficient means
of absorbing ____________.
Form in groups of 6 and discuss about
the adaptation of plants from different
habitats to carry out photosynthesis
Land Plants
Floating Plants
Desert Plants
Aquatic Plants That Are Submerged
