What adjective can be used to describe drink?
Refreshing, alcoholic, caffeinated, and energy are adjectives that can be used to describe drink.
What words could you use to describe lack of energy?
lethargic; weak
In ballet describe one element of time used in dance and also describe 2 adjectives that describe energy of ballet and give an example of what type of movement this is seen?
an element of time used in dance would be the waltz. i think 2 adjectives that would describe the energy of ballet would be graceful, and beautiful. an example of the type of movement through which this can be seen i would say would be grand jetes (or big leaps in the air)
Do bacteria make their own food?
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
Describe the energy transformations that occur when a person pushes a bike to the top of a hill and coasts down?
First it's chemical energy from eaten food that turns into heat, a little bit of kinetic energy and potential energy(pushing the bike uphill). Then it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy and a little bit of heat, along with some further chemical energy being used up.(coasting down)
What do bacteria use for energy?
movement, synthesize protein, synthesize other cell material eg. repair, increase, growth, homeostasis..keeping internal environment at a constant. op this helps u out.
Are bacteria autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Both types of bacteria exist. Some are autotrophic while others are heterotrophic. Most autotrophic bacteria can synthesize their food from substances like hydrogen sulphide. This process is called chemosynthesis and involves the use of chemical substances for the production of energy. Heterotrophic bacteria, in contrast, cannot synthesize their own energy and must consume organic matter for energy. These include decomposing bacteria, or other groups of bacteria that may be symbiotic of parasitic in nature.
What is heterotrophic bacteria?
Heterotrophic Bacteria is basically bacteria that has to consume something else to get its energy (cannot get energy from the sun).
Are cows autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
Cattle are heterotrophs, they cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organic matter for nutrition. While autotrophs are able to synthesize its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy.
How do chemoautotrophic bacteria manufacture organic compounds without sunlight?
They oxidize inorganic compounds as a source of energy.ORChemoautotrophic bacteria uses energy produced by oxidizing or reducing chemical substances. The energy released from oxidation or reduction is used to synthesize organic compounds. Hence they don't need sunlight.This chemosynthesis does not and this is how it differs from photosynthesis.
How do cells replace the energy-rich ATP that is destroyed in energy-coupled reactions?
Both chloroplasts use light energy to synthesize ATP and mitochondria synthesize ATP using energy that's realeased by oxidizing sugars and fats.
Why don't bacteria help preserve canned food?
nope i dont think so Bacteria decompose organic matter, like food, to gain energy from it. If the food is sealed in a can, bacteria cannot reach it and so cannot decompose it (cause it to rot).
Are animal cells autothrophic or hetothrophic?
Heterotrophic, as they cannot synthesize their own energy like plants can. Animals have no chloroplasts, so they must eat instead of living off sunlight.
What do you call organisms that can not make their own food?
Organisms that cannot make their own food are called heterotrophs.Most categories of organisms, excepting green plants and some bacteria, are heterotrophs.
What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria cannot do?
cyanobacteria uses sunlight and obtain energy to make there food (otherwise known as photosynthesis), when other bacteria do not obtain the enery of photosynthesis
What does a mitochadrian do in a cell?
It synthesize energy in cell.They are used in endogonic reactions.
What organelle uses carbon dioxide and sunlight to synthesize and store energy?
Chloroplasts.
