Mark the incorrect statement regarding Autotrophic nutrition. 1. Carbon and energy requirements of the autotrophic organism are fulfilled by photosynthesis 2. It is process by which autotrophs take in substances from the outside and convert them into stored forms of energy. 3. Substances are taken in the form of carbon dioxide and methane which is converted into fats in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

Key Points
  • Photosynthesis meets the carbon and energy requirements of autotrophic organisms. It is a process in which autotrophic organisms convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, the energy source, in the presence of sunshine and chlorophyll. They are at the very beginning of the food chain.
  • Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophs transform inorganic chemicals found in the environment into organic molecules that can be stored as energy. Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars, which are a source of energy, using light energy from the sun.
  • Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by green plants and other organisms. Light energy is collected and utilised by green plants during photosynthesis to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic molecules.

Read the paragraph and answer the question-photosynthesis is a process in which radiant energy from sun is stored as chemical energy , which in turn is used to decompose carbon dioxide and water. The product of their decomposition are recombined into a new compound which successively builds, up into more and more complex organic substances like sugars, starches and cellulose that comprise the plant.The word stored in the paragraph is closest in morning to
