NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some types of bacteria are autotrophs. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -3) Cooling: It prevents the growth and reproduction of microorganisms because microorganisms are not able to reproduce at low temperatures. 4) Drying: This process removes water from food. Since, microorganisms need water for their growth, drying food prevents the growth of microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants are producers. They make their own food, which creates energy for them to grow, reproduce and survive. Being able to make their own food makes them unique; they are the only living things on Earth that can make their own source of food energy. Of course, they require sun, water and air to thrive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.
