Autotrophs and heterotrophs use carbon containing molecules for energy and for?
growth
Is maltose heterotrophic or autotrophic?
yes
What organisms use Cellular Respiration?
Both autotrophs (plants) and heterotrophs (animals) use Cellular Respiration to break the organic compounds (produced by Photosynthesis) into simpler molecules and release energy.Bacteria, fungi, and archaea also use Cellular Respiration.animals only
What is the name given to organisms that can make their own food and thus sustain themselves without consuming organic molecules derived from other organisms?
Producers or autotrophs can make their own food.
Is cyanobacteria chemoautotrophs?
Yes, cyanobacteria are autotrophs. An autotroph is any organism that is able to take inorganic raw material and turn it into organic energy containing molecules.
What are autotrophs that capture sunlight and use it to make organic molecules?
autotrophs are green plants, algae, etc.
What are autotrophs that capture the sunlight and use it to make organic molecules?
autotrophs are green plants, algae, etc.
Autotrophs and heterotrophs use carbon contaning molecules and energy for?
growth
What does not require energy obtained from pre-formed organic molecules?
Autotrophs
Autotrophs and heterotrophs use carbon-containing molecules for energy and for?
growth
Autotrophs and heterotrophs use carbon containing molecules for energy and for?
growth
What is the basic difference between the autotrophs and the heterotraphs?
autotrophs gain carbon via CO2. Heterotrophs gain carbon by consuming organic molecules.
Why Heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs.?
Heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for a variety of reasons. The most obvious reason is that autotrophs are the only organisms that can produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules. This means that heterotrophs must consume autotrophs (or the organic molecules they produce) in order to obtain the organic molecules they need to survive. In addition to this, autotrophs play a vital role in the global carbon and water cycles. They take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce organic molecules. This helps to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which would otherwise contribute to global warming. Autotrophs also release water vapor into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. This helps to regulate the Earth's temperature and keep it habitable for other organisms. Without autotrophs, the world would be a very different place. Heterotrophs would not be able to survive, and the planet would be uninhabitable for most other organisms.
What can make organisms organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide?
autotrophs
Do photoautotrophs produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules?
Technically sunlight would be an inorganic material so it would be yes to both. In general, autotrophs make their own molecules using inorganic materials. Phototrophs, a subset of autotrophs, use sunlight specifically to make their organic molecules
In which step are ATP molecules produced?
The Two molecules of pyruvic acid produced in ATP molecules
How many H2O molecules produced in Krebs cycle?
no H2O molecules are produced:)
