Where do consumers get their carbon?
From other organisms .
How do heterotrophs get carbon molecules?
By feeding on other organisms.
Heterotrophs get carbon-containing molecules by?
feeding on other organisms.
What is in organic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is based on carbon. Carbon is the most common element found in living organisms.
How did carbon dioxide end up in sedimentary rocks?
Carbon dioxide is dissolved into the sea. Marine organisms use the dissolved carbon dioxide to make shells of calcium carbonate. When these organisms die, they fall to the sea bed. Layers of dead organisms and sediment build up on the sea bed. These layers are compacted and compressed to form sedimentry rock.
What do all living organisms need?
homeostasiswaterfoodshelterreproduce
What do organisms from the ocean use the carbon dioxide for?
Plants need carbon dioxide to preform photosynthesis.
What do all multicellular organisms need to get energy?
carbon dioxide or oxygen
What is neededto support carbon-based organisms?
NASA says that Carbon-based organisms need water and energy to survive. here's the link- http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/science/life/index.html
What are the organisms involved in carbon cycle?
All organisms are involved in the carbon cycle.
How do earth systems interact in the carbon cycle?
They provide materials organisms need to build their bodies.
What 4 big molecules do all organisms need to survive?
Carbon Oxygen Hydrogen Nitrogen
What is the importance of the carbon and nitrogen cycle to ecosystem?
They provide materials organisms need to build their bodies.
Are most organisms said to be carbon based?
All organisms on Earth are carbon based.
Why do organism need carbon and oxygen?
Because organisms bodies take in either oxygen of carbon d. into their bodies and through photosynthesis the make sugar and carbon d./oxygen
Is carbon dioxid needed for all organisms?
No, Carbon Dioxide is not needed for all organisms because humans and most other animals consume oxygen not carbon dioxide. However plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to create oxygen as a waste product. By the way you really need to check your spelling.
Plants obtain the carbon used in the manufacture of organic compounds from?
Photosynthesis require carbon dioxide, although carbon is naturally needed by all organisms.
