any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists.

Green plants can make food with the energy from the sun and carbon dioxide, everything else must get their food from an external source.
Members of the Animal Kingdom, Fungi and Monera all must get their food from an external source. Some Protists have chlorophyll so they could make their own food.

What is the main way that your body obtains energy from the sun?
In Cellular Respiration, we get energy from the plants and animals we consume. So we indirectly obtain energy from the sun.
Can enterococcus live outside the body?
According to my Cell Biology Lab instructor, since the bacteria is anaerobic organism, it'll be difficult for them to live outside the host's body.
What would happen if our mitochondria did not have access to oxygen?
Aerobic respiration will be stopped. Body will not get enough energy
Which best explains how human body obtains energy from food?
Typically glycolysis. Glycolysis is a process by which sugars (specifically glucose) is broken down into ATP (energy). There are, however, many pathways to derive energy from differently moleculs (including lipids and carbohydrates).
How does the human body obtain reactants for cellular respiration?
human body obtains reactants from food
A protist that obtains its food from dead organic matter or from the body of another organism?
Fungi
How the body obtains its ingredients to produce energy?
You eat it. Or in some cases sunlight.
Which best Describe how the human body obtains energy from food?
breaking chemical bounds

What is an organism that obtains its energy from the food it eats?
an organism that obtains energy from food is called a consumer. If an organism is able to manufacture its own food from other energy sources e.g. plants from light, oxygen and water, it is called a producer.
List a 12 organism food chain?
Producer - usually a green plant that produces its own food by photosynthesisFirst-order Consumer - the organism that eats the producerSecond-order Consumer - the organism that eats or derives nutrients from the first-order consumerHerbivore - a plant eaterCarnivore - an organism that obtains nutrients from the blood or flesh of an animalOmnivore - an organism which eats both plant and animal matterScavenger - an consumer that eats dead animals (e.g. crab)Detritivore - a consumer that obtains its nutrients from detritusDecomposer - an organism such as bacteria and fungi that breaks down dead organisms and their wastesTrophic Level - A trophic level is each level in a food chain. Matter is always 'lost' as heat energy at each trophic level.Basal Energy Requirement (B.E.R.) - the amount of energy used by an organism's body just to keep alive, when no food is being digested and no muscular work is being doneFood Web - a network of interrelated food chains in a given area
What does the word skeleton?
A system of bones inside or sometimes outside a body of an organism.
Can the human body transmit outside the body?
It depends on what you mean by "transmit". Our nerves and muscles use electrical signals. These signals can be detected outside the body. The biochemical processes in each cell uses energy. This energy can be detected outside the body as heat.
What is bacteria living organism or non living organism?
Inside the body of living organisms they behave as living beings and when they are outside the living body they behave as non - living beings
Can enterococcus live outside the body?

Why are alpha radiation are more dangerous inside the body than outside the body?
Because in the body alpha particles interact directly with the organism cells.
What are the sites in Reptiles and Amphibians where syngamy occurs?
In amphibians, syngamy occurs in the external medium (water) i.e. outside the body of organism while in reptiles, syngamy occurs inside the body of organism.
