What is organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy?
produces
What are organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy called?
Autotrophs or producers
What is the term used to describe organisms that capture solar energy and release oxygen?
hetertrophs
What is the process by which certain organisms capture energy from sunlight and use it to build energy-rich food molecules?
photosynthesis
Why are most anaerobic organisms very small?
Organisms that are larger require the respiration of something like oxygen to capture enough energy to run themselves.

Organisms store energy in?
Mitochondria
How is solar energy stored in living organisms?
Living organisms have the ability to store energy in many different forms. To store solar energy, living organisms create carbohydrates for their storage needs.
How are viruses unlike organisms?
Unlike organisms, viruses are not cellular, nor do they have ribosomes or any other organelles for protein production, energy generation, etc. They cannot capture or store free energy but can only use energy derived from their host. Also, viruses can only reproduce via the host and not on their own.
Organisms store some of the energy from their food in their?
Cells store starch (which can be used for energy) in plastids.
Organisms can't create the energy they need to live they must capture it from the environment?
true
What is the term used to describe organisms that capture solar energy and release oxygen?
hetertrophs
What is the process by which certain organisms capture energy from sunlight and use it to build energy-rich food molecules?
photosynthesis
Term for organisms that cannot directly capture the sun's energy and make their own food?
heterotroph
In what form do organisms store energy?
Organisms primarily store energy in the form of chemical bonds. This energy is stored in molecules such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and carbohydrates like glucose. When needed, these molecules can be broken down and the energy stored in their bonds can be released and used by the organism.
