LIFE PROCESS
What is Life Process?
~The basic Functions performed together (such—: Nutrition, Respiration, Transportation and Excretion.) By an organism to sustain or maintenance of life on the earth surface is called Life Process.
The basic Functions performed by an organism are.
(1) Nutrition.
(2) Respiration.
(3) Transportation.
(4) Excretion.
NOTE —: In Unicellure organism all these process performed by a single cell. But in Multicellular organism well developed system are present to Performed or carrying this process.

What is Nutrition ?
The Process of acquiring food that is needed the nourishment of an organism and get energy and utilities them.

1. Mode of Nutrition in Plants and Animals
Nutrition in Plants
All green plants are autotrophic orgnaism and they carry their Food by Autotrophic Nutrition.
The performed Photosynthesis.
They Provide food for all other organism they not make their own food by itself.
Nutrition in Animals
They are Heterotrophic Mode of Nutrition.
They are Dependent upon autotrophic Nutrition.
They as Consumers in an ecosystem.
2. Autotrophic Nutrition
It is a Mode of Nutrition in which an organism make their own food by itself by using some inorganic substance like Water Carbon dioxide and Sunlight (Infra Ray).
Ex— All Green plants
Photosynthesis
It is a process by Plants make own food by itself by using some inorganic substance like Water Carbon dioxide in the presence of Sunlight (Infra Ray). And also provide the nourishment of the other organism.

Raw Material for Photosynthesis
(i) Sunlight (Infra Ray).
(ii) Carbon dioxide.
(iii) Water and Minerals.
(i) Sunlight (Infra Ray) obtain from the sun.
(ii) Carbon dioxide is Obtain from the environment are present in total about 0.32% of Carbon dioxide in the presence of surrounding or atmosphere.
(iii) Water and Minerals are obtained from the earth surface.
Site of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis take place in the green parts of the plant like leaves. In some cases the stem is green and also takes parts of Photosynthesis.
The Leaf contains cells which contains the green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is present inside the certain structure called Chloroplasts.

| Leaf's the site of Photosynthesis. |
Stomata
The tiny or small pores persent on the lower surface of Leaf is called Stomata.
They are made by guard cell.
Guard cell also control the function of Opening and closed of Stomata.
Function are
They are help in the gaseous exchange during photosynthesis in plants.
They also help in the pretipation.
Events of Photosynthesis
— Absorption of Light energy (Infra Ray) by Chlorophyll.
— Conversion of Light energy (Infra Ray) to chemical energy
— Splitting of water molecules into Hydrogen and Oxygen gas.
— Reduction of Carbon dioxide to Carbohydrates.
Significance of Photosynthesis
Food — By Photosynthesis green plants synthesized food from simple inorganic substance like Water Carbon dioxide and Sunlight Infra Ray). Thus it sustain their Life on the earth surface.
