What do autotroph and heterotroph mean?
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food, such as plants. their food comes form the sun meaning they use light energy to produce food. Although heterotrophs ultimately get their energy from the sun, but the way they obtain is different. in heterotrophs they obtain energy from the food they consume. For example eating plants that have obtained energy from the sun, or by eating animals that have eaten such plants.
What do photosynthensies mean?
Photosynthesis is how plants create food, used by autotrophs, the plant takes in sunlight, sugar, CO2, and water, and the output is energy, ATP, and O2.
What gas is used in photosynthesis?
Carbon dixode (CO2)
Would you classify human beings as autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Heterotroph, autotrophs can create their own food (plants and some bacteria). Heterotrophs consume other organisms to aquire their energy and much energy is lost between each level.
What is an organism that uses sunlight and inorganic substances to make organic compounds?
A plant or heterotroph. The inorganic carbon of CO2 is made into the organic sugar glucose as the result of photosynthetic organisms such as plankton, phytoplankton, and algae.
Which organism is an autotroph cow grass river rock?
grass is an Autotrophs because Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food using sunlight, CO2, and H2O.
How do autotrophs and heterotrophs differ in the ways in which they obtain energy?
Autotrophs obtain energy through a process called photosynthesis, in which the chloroplasts in the cells capture sunlight and transform that into glucose for energy they can use, and emit O2 (Oxygen) into the air. The reactants are CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H2O (Water). Heterotrophs get energy from the food they eat through a process called cellular respiration, in which the mitochondria in the cells transform the sugar and carbohydrates from food into CO2 and H2O. The reactants are C6H12O6 (Glucose) and O2.
Does bacteriamake its own food?
Some bacteria, called autotrophs, make their own food from the carbon in CO2. Most bacteria are heterotrophs, taking their food 'ready-made' from other sources.
Name given to photosynthesis using organisms?
plants maybeThey are called photo autotrophs. They obtain light energy and carbon from CO2
What do autotroph and heterotroph mean?
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food, such as plants. their food comes form the sun meaning they use light energy to produce food. Although heterotrophs ultimately get their energy from the sun, but the way they obtain is different. in heterotrophs they obtain energy from the food they consume. For example eating plants that have obtained energy from the sun, or by eating animals that have eaten such plants.
What is a correct distinction between autotrophs and heterotrophs?
Autotrophs, but not heterotrophs, can nourish themselves beginning with CO2 and other nutrients that are inorganic.
Why are producer organisms called autotrophs?
Autotrophs, or "self-feeders", sustain themselves without feeding off of energy derived from other organisms. Instead, they obtain their own food from inorganic substances using light or chemical energy.Autotrophs are generally known as the producers of the biosphere since they produce organic molecules (i.e. CO2 and H2O) and other inorganic molecules. This allows them to sustain and provide food for heterotrophs, or "other feeders" as well.**Examples of Autotrophs: plants, algae, some prokaryotes, some other protists
What do photosynthensies mean?
Photosynthesis is how plants create food, used by autotrophs, the plant takes in sunlight, sugar, CO2, and water, and the output is energy, ATP, and O2.
What is the basic difference between the autotrophs and the heterotraphs?
autotrophs gain carbon via CO2. Heterotrophs gain carbon by consuming organic molecules.
What gas does a plant need to make food?
a plant requires CO2 to make food
Where do plant cells obtain glucose from?
They make it from three things: Sunlight, Water, and CO2
How do and consumers obtain energy?
PRODUCERS: Producers obtain their food through a process called photosynthesis. The producer use sunlight, H20, CO2 and nutrients in the soil to create food (sugars and starches) and O2. CONSUMERS: Consumers obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
