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

No. No single-celled organism is anywhere near that size.

It is a plant and hence it is an Eukaryote.

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

The majority of archaebacteria are autotrophs. However a small percentage of archaebacteria is heterotrophic.


Is red blood cell autotroph or heterotroph?

Heterotrophs, they don't produce their own food.


What is the cell of onion peel?

The cell of an onion peel is a plant cell. The cells of the onion peel do not have chloroplasts because the onion bulb (white part) grows under ground and its cells do not carry out photosynthesis.


What are the characteristics of organisms in each of the six kingdoms?

Every living creature on Earth belongs to a kingdom. Scientists debate how many kingdoms there are, but most agree there are five. Here is how the five kingdoms are organized.MoneraMonera are single-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus. Bacteria make up the entire kingdom. There are more forms of bacteria than any other organism on Earth. Some bacteria are beneficial to us, such as the ones found in yogurt. Others can cause us to get sick. ProtistsProtists are mostly single-celled organisms that have a nucleus. They usually live in water. Some protists move around, while others stay in one place. Examples of protists include some algae, paramecium, and amoeba. FungiFungi are usually motionless organisms that absorb nutrients for survival. They include mushrooms, molds, and yeasts. PlantsPlants contain chlorophyll, a green pigment necessary for photosynthesis, a process in which plants convert energy from sunlight into food. Their cell walls are made sturdy by a material called cellulose, and they are fixed in one place. Plants are divided into two groups: flower- and fruit-producing plants and those that don't produce flowers or fruits. They include garden flowers, agricultural crops, grasses, shrubs, ferns, mosses, and conifers. AnimalsAnimals are the most complex organisms on Earth. Animals are multi-celled organisms, eat food for survival, and have nervous systems. They are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates and include mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds and fish. Actually, there are now six kingdoms. The five kingdom was during the 1969 and it included all the bacterias within one group. The five kingdom system is as follows:Monera: Bacteria. They are prokaryotic and unicellular. They are mobile.protista: Protists. They are eukaryotic. Either autotrophic, heterotrophic, or even mixotrophic. They live live as unicellular, multicellular, or even as a colony. Some are mobile while some are sessile.animalia: Animals. Eukaryotic and are heterotrophic. They are all multicellular and are mobile.plantae: Plants. Eukaryotic and mostly autotrophic (some parasitic plants are heterotrophic). They are multicellular and sessile.fungi: Mushrooms, fungus, etc. Eukaryotic and heterotrophic. They are multicellular and sessile.

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


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 examples of plant kingdom?

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.)

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.


Is plant cell a autotroph or heterotroph?

Plants are autotrophic because they are able to synthesize their own food. Heterotrophic organisms such as animals need to get energy from eating other heterotrophs or autotrophs.


Is a onion cell a single?

No. No single-celled organism is anywhere near that size. It is a plant and hence it is an Eukaryote.


Is red blood cell autotroph or heterotroph?

Heterotrophs, they don't produce their own food.
