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).
Organisms that must obtain nutrients and energy by eating other organisms are?
All animals are heterotrophs, getting their organic molecules (food, growth) from another organism. Those that consume other organisms are predators. The larger predatory animals that consume smaller animals are carnivores (meat eaters).
What happens to the total amount of energy as it flows through a food chain?
the energy amount increases as other organisms eat other organizms.
What do Nearly all living things obtain energy either directly or?
Photosynthesis gives plants energy, and when animals eat the plants, they gain energy from the plants. And, of course, when animals eat other animals, they indirectly obtain energy from the plants, which get their energy from the sun. So, the answer would be the sun.
Why are plants important to the survival of other organisms?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
