What requires energy only from inorganic sources?
autotrophs
Where does cellular respiration occur in heterotrophs and and photosynthesis in autotrophs?
heterotrophs eat other organisms because they can not make their own food. so they obtain their energy by braking down their food to a simpler state through the process of respiration so yes heterotrophs preform respiration
How is the law of conservation of energy relate to energy transformation?
The law of conservation of energy states: "Energy can neither be created or destroyed, only changed in form." Energy transformation is changing it's form. Note: This law only holds in Newtonian physics. I Einsteinian physics is isn't valid.
Is it true an energy transformation is occurring only at point 3?
Its true
What is the only cell organelles that is capable of converting light energy into chemical energy?
Chloroplast is the only cell organelle capable of photosynthesis. This process give the plants the status of autotrophs.
Which Kingdoms contain only autotrophs?
The Kingdom Plantae only contains autotrophs.
Can autotroph photosynthesize?
Autotrophs do. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using raw materials and a source of energy obtained from the environment. Some autotrophs are photosynthetic while some are chemosynthetic. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and depend on autotrophs, directly or indirectly, for nutrition.
Do autotrophs only eat plants?
Autotrophes do not eat plants. They produce their own energy without consuming other organisms.
Why are autotrophs essential components of an ecosystem?
autotrophs produce their own energy from the sun. heterotrophs(all other organisms. dont produce their own energy) can only get energy by consuming an autotroph. therefore, without autotrophs, there would be no life on earth because organisms wouldn't be able to get energy.
Which kingdoms contain autotrophs?
The Kingdom Plantae only contains autotrophs.
The main difference between chemo synthetic autotrophs and photosynthetic autotrophs is that only?
Chemosythetic autotrophs use chemicals for "food", but photosynthetic autotrophs use light (sunlight) to make their "food".
What is lost during the Transformation of energy from potential to kinetic?
Nothing. 1st Law of Thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form.
