Are photosynthetic organisms called consumers?
No, organisms that use photosynthesis are called producers because they capture sunlight energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugars, oxygen, and water. The glucose sugars are used by the plant to grow and reproduce. Since these plant organisms are creating biomass using sunlight, they are essentially producing food for other organisms to consume (who are called consumers).
What organisms are Autotroph?
Organism, such as plants, who can produce their own food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. ( sometimes chemicals-called chemeotrophs )
What kind of fungi break down chemicals in dead organisms?
There are no specific types of fungi that break down chemicals in dead organisms. Different fungi breakdown different chemicals; whus, all kinds are invovled in the breakdown of dead organisms. If you meant "what are the fungi that break down chemicals in dead organisms called", then they are called saprobes.
Which group of organisms is found in oceans and use stinging cells called cnidocytes to capture prey?
coral
What is anything that can perform life processes by itself called?
You are most likely referring to autotrophs, which are organisms that can acquire their energy from inorganic sources such as sunlight and chemicals. Heterotrophs (like humans) have to acquire their energy from other organic material.
What is an autotrough?
Organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce their own food from inorganic compounds. They are also called producers.
Are photosynthetic organisms called consumers?
No, organisms that use photosynthesis are called producers because they capture sunlight energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugars, oxygen, and water. The glucose sugars are used by the plant to grow and reproduce. Since these plant organisms are creating biomass using sunlight, they are essentially producing food for other organisms to consume (who are called consumers).
What are organisms that use te sunlight for food called?
An organism that uses sunlight to make food or energy is known as a producer. An example of a producer is a plant. The plant utilizes the sunlight as energy to produce food.
What is small organisms that live in the sunlight regions of the oceans?
Small organisms that live in the sunlight regions of the ocean is called Plankton!
What are organisms that make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy called?
Organisms that make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy are called autotrophs.
What organisms are Autotroph?
Organism, such as plants, who can produce their own food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. ( sometimes chemicals-called chemeotrophs )
What are the bacterias called when they break down large chemicals in dead organisms into small chemicals?
They are called decomposers.
What are Organisms that make food from sunlight and water called?
autotrophs
How do organisms get energy from sunlight?
through a process called photosynthesis.
Bacteria that breaks down large chemicals in dead organisms into small chemicals are called?
They are called Decomposers.
What are organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy called?
Autotrophs or producers
