Take up carbon dioxide at night and prepare an intermediate which is acted upon by the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll during the day.

__.

The organisms which on autotrophs or other animals for food

__.

The nutrition in which organisms engulf the food as a whole and break it down inside their bodies and absorb the nutrients

__.

The nutrition in which organisms breakdown the food outside the body and then absorb it. They usually rely on dead and decaying matter.

__.

The nutrition in which organisms live inside (internal-parasites) or on the surface (external-parasites) of the body of another organism and derive the nutrients from them without killing but harming them in the proce

The process of removing undigested food from the body.

__.

The digestive tract of humans is called __.

__.

Biological catalysts which breaks down complex food particles into simpler substances.

__.

A metabolic process where the living cells of an organism obtains energy (in the form of ATP) by taking in oxygen and liberating carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.

__ respiration.

Respiration in which glucose is broken down in cells to produce energy in the form of ATP molecules.

__ respiration.

Respiration in which exchange of gases take place. It is done with the help of respiratory system.
