∙ 14y agoMost saprophytes do not produce chlorophyll and therefore do not photosynthesize; they are thus dependent on the food energy they absorb from the decaying tissues, which they help to break down.

Does sunlight contain energy?
Sunlight is energy.
What are the animals and fungi that depend on autotrophs for their food energy?
Heterotrophs
In heterotrophs energy for the life processes comes from the chemicals energy stored in the bonds of?
organic compounds
What does solar energy mean in science?
Solar energy is the energy present in sunlight, or energy that is generated through the use of sunlight.
What kind of organism obtains energy directly from the sun?
Heterotrophs can eat autotrophs or other heterotrophs.
How do autographs differ from heterotrophs in obtaining energy?
First of all, autographs and heterotrophs are not even closely related. Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming organic matter of other organisms, either living or deceased. Autotrophs obtain energy by capturing it from sunlight (photosynthesis) or capturing chemical energy (chemosynthesis).
How do we get the energy to live and function?
Human are chemo heterotrophs. They obtain chemical energy. Mainly from food
How is the ultimate source of energy for heterotrophs the sun even though they cannot make their own food?
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for the vast majority of organisms. Producers convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. Glucose molecules are combined to make starch for energy storage. Primary consumers (heterotrophs) feed on producers (autotrophs), and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers, and so on.
What do autotrophs and heterotrophs have in common?
The similarities between autotrophs and heterotrophs are they are both living things. The essentials for their life is air, sunlight and water. They both also need food to live.
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
Breaking down carbohydrates to release energy?
The two organisms that break down carbohydrates to release energy from cells are autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs trap sunlight and store it in carbohydrates.
Is a fat dormouse a heterotroph or a autotroph?
An autotroph is an animal that produces food from chemicals using some form of ambient energy, like sunlight. Heterotrophs are organisms that must eat for energy. Dormice eat, and thus are heterotrophs. It makes no difference whether the dormouse is fat or thin.
What are heterotrophs and where do they get their energy?
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume food in order to obtain energy. These organisms get their energy by consuming organic molecules.
How do autotrophs obtain energy and how do heterotrophs obtain energy?
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
What are an organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes?
Heterotrophs. For example: fish and frogs.
What is the term for any organism that obtains its energy by eating other organims?
kufluy
How do autotrophs and heterotrophs differ in way they obtain energy?
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
