no because since they grow in the ground, they don't need to use the sun to make food for us.

What is the cell type of eubacteria and archaebacteria heterotrophic or autotrophic or both?

Eubacteria and archaebacteria can be both heterotrophic (obtaining nutrients from organic compounds) and autotrophic (able to produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis), depending on the species.


Why is an amoeba not an animal A It is asexual B It is unicellular C It is prokaryotic D It is autotrophic?

An amoeba is not considered an animal because it is unicellular, meaning it is made up of only one cell. Animals are multicellular organisms. Additionally, amoebas are eukaryotic, not prokaryotic, and they are heterotrophic, not autotrophic.


Is pseudopods related to heterotroph or autotrophic?

Pseudopods are extensions of a cell membrane used for movement in certain protists, like amoebas. These protists are typically heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms. Autotrophic organisms produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.


What is the structure and function of an onion cell?

The structure of an onion cell includes a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and vacuole. The function of an onion cell is to store nutrients, provide support, and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.


What does kingdom fungi have that the other kingdom don't have?

Kingdom Fungi have cell walls made of chitin, which is a unique characteristic not found in other kingdoms. Additionally, fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain their nutrients through absorption, unlike autotrophic organisms found in other kingdoms.

Is a muscle cell autotrophic or heterotrophic?

It's heterotrophic because it's an animal cell and all animal cells are heterotrophic

Is an onion bulb an organelle or an organ system or a tissue or a cell or an organism?

No an onion bulb is an organism


What are the four characteristics used to decide what organism belongs in which kingdom?

The four characteristics used to decide what organisms belong in which kingdom are cell type (prokaryotic or eukaryotic), cell structure (unicellular or multicellular), mode of nutrition (autotrophic or heterotrophic), and reproduction method (asexual or sexual).


Is a cell a heterotrophic or autotrophic?

Autotrophs produce their own food/energy from sunlight. (or some called chemotrophs can get it from heat and chemicals such as certain organisms in deep sea heat vents) Heterotrophs must get food/energy from other heterotrophs or autotrophs. (Cellular respiration) So, a cell capable of photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis is autotrophic... all others are heterotrophic.


Is an onion cell a multi cell?

Onions are multicellular, but this term refers to the entire organism - you cannot call a single onion cell a "multi cell".


What is Eumycota?

It is a eukaryotic organism (aka, Fungus) that is a member of the kingdom Fungi, and is an heterotrophic organism possessing a chitinous cell wall.

What are the plant kingdom examples?

plants are autotrophic, eukaryotic, multicellular, and they have a cell wall. Carniverous plants are also heterotrophic, but they also photosynthesize (this makes both heterotrophic and autotrophic). Some examples of plants are grasses, shrubs, trees, and flowers. (Mosses, lichens, fungis etc. are NOT part of the plant kingdom, they are in Kindom Fungi.)

Is pseudopods related to autotrophic or heterotrophic nutrition?

Pseudopods are primarily associated with heterotrophic nutrition. They are extensions of the cell membrane and cytoplasm used by certain protists, such as amoebas, to engulf food particles through a process called phagocytosis. This allows these organisms to consume and digest other organisms or organic matter, characteristic of heterotrophic behavior. In contrast, autotrophic organisms produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis and do not utilize pseudopods for nutrition.


How do you determine whether an organism is an animal?

If an organism is multicellular, heterotrophic (cannot make its own energy), and has no cell wall, it is an animal. This is the definition of the kingdom Animalia. There are unicellular animal-like members of the kingdom Protista commonly called protozoa. Fungi are heterotrophic and multicellular, but they have a cell wall made of chitin.
