Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."

1a)A surface sterilisation protocol was carried out to sterilise leaf and stemexplants for evaluating the efficacy of the protocol. All explants were washedthoroughly with distilled water before treating with 50% Clorox for 20minutes. The explants were then rinsed with distilled water before the explants were cultured on plates containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium. A total of five plates were prepared for each type of explant and each plate consisted of 10 explants. The results recorded after a week are shown in Table. Discuss and conclude the results obtained.
