What food molecule is used by heterotrophs to make energy?

Heterotrophs are unable to make their food, but consume reduced carbon compounds. The heterotrophs are then able to obtain energy from the food for reproduction and growth.


How do some deep water bacteria in the ocean make food?

eating other bacteria


What describes organisms that cannot make their own food?

A heterotroph cannot produce its own food, an autotroph can! A chemotroph makes food by compounds(chemicals like table salt(NaCl)


Organic compounds are found in what food?

All foods contain organic compounds.


Why does a green plant develop more chlorophyll from shade then from direct sunlight?

Some plants make their own food through a different process called chemosynthesis. Through this process they use chemical compounds in the ground and/or other places to covert them into energy and make food. The plants get chlorophyll through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
