The document discusses several key life processes including nutrition, photosynthesis, and digestion. It defines autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition, with autotrophs like plants performing photosynthesis to produce their own food using carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll, and sunlight. Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for food and include animals. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts in plant cells, which contain chlorophyll and use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The document also describes digestion in animals, which involves ingestion, digestion through enzymes, absorption in the intestines, and egestion.
