Name the organelle in which photosynthesis occurs. Ans.Chloroplast. 5. Differentiate autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Ans: Holozoic nutrition In this nutrition organisms derive their food by consuming complex organic materials by the process of ingestion and then converting the complex molecules into simpler ones to obtain nutrients. Eg. animals and human beings. Saprophytic nutrition In this type of nutrition organism derive their food from the dead and decaying materials. Eg.fungi 7. (a) How is fat digested in our body?
