What elements are in all living things?

All living things have cells. some organisms can be unicellular (only having one cell that undergoes mitosis to reproduce and to get larger it grows). or an organism can be multicellular (having many cells. in multicellular organisms, more cells keep being made to replace old and dead cells). all living things need energy. some obtain energy from other organisms (hetrotrophic) or get energy on their own (autotrophic). organisms get obtain materials from its environment and prepares if for use through ingestion (taking materials in) , digestion (breaking down food) , and egestion (removal of undigested food). another element is that they have the ability to maintain homeostasis, and respond to stimuli. (change in environment's)

How do cells obtain nutrients for their survival and functioning?

Cells obtain nutrients for their survival and functioning through a process called cellular respiration. This involves taking in nutrients from the environment, breaking them down into smaller molecules, and using them to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is then used by the cell to carry out various functions necessary for its survival and functioning.


Is a lotus an omnivore?

No, lotus plants are not omnivores. They are aquatic plants that obtain nutrients through photosynthesis, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They do not consume other organisms for food.


Do all organisms eat?

All living organisms require some way of obtaining energy to use in every part of their lives, be it reproduction, movement, or homeostasis. If you mean eat as in to take in outside materials for producing energy, then the answer would be no. Organisms that either eat plants or other organisms are called heterotrophs - they make energy from materials obtained from an outside means. They are mostly animals, though there are several carnivorous plant species such as the Venus Fly Trap and the Pitcher Plant which capture and digest insects. Organisms that create their own food, however, are called autotrophs and they produce their food through their own means, mostly photosynthesis. Most of these organisms are plants and algaes and through either taking in sunlight or using chemical reactions in the darker environments, they produce glucose which is then converted into energy and waste products.


What is meant by the term respiration?

1. The metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs 2. A single complete act of breathing in and out 3. The bodily process of inhalation and exhalation; the process of taking in oxygen from inhaled air and releasing carbon dioxide by exhalation.


What type of energy are you taking in when you eat fruits and vegetables?

Food energy is chemical energy. Organisms break down food to extract the things that they need to stay healthy, and it's a chain of biochemical reactions that powers the organism.
