∙ 12y agoAnimals that do not make their own food and receive energy from the sun by eating other living things are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophs can also be called consumers. The animals that do make their own food are called producers or autotrophs.

How does wave energy work?
The wave energy works by taking advantage of the down and up movement which is basically mechanical energy.
What simple organisms are able to carry on photosynthesis in each cell?
No, not all living organisms undergo photosynthesis. Only phototrophs (photosynthetic autotrophs) such as plants, algae, and many forms of photosynthetic bacteria undergo photosynthesis. All other organisms live by eating autotrophs or other organisms that have eaten autotrophs; these organisms are heterotrophs. There are a few specialized organisms (which may live where no light shines) that use a process called chemosynthesis to get their energy; these organisms are called chemotrophs.
How do parameciums obtain energy?
they eat bacteria through there oral groove that then is transfered into the food vacuole were the food is digested by enzymes and the un digested food or extra is excreated out of the anal pore.
Are vegetarians the only heterotrophs that get all their energy from plants?
No, vegetarians, or better described, as herbivores in this example, are not the only heterotrophs that get all their energy from plants. All living organisms, including carnivores, also derive energy from plants by eating the herbivores.
Does plants use chlorophyll to trap sunlight?
b. energy, I think I'm taking the same test as you (e2020)
What are some ways eukaryotes cells obtain energy?
By taking it in.
What are some ways that eukaryotic cells obtain energy?
By taking it in.
Most other creatures obtain their chemical potential energy by what?
Animals (including humans) obtain their energy by digesting food, taking out the energy content and excreting the waste. Plants get their energy by photosynthesis through sunlight.
How does plant obtain food?
by taking its nutriants from another plant
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)
What is nutrition and why is it important?
Nutrition is the process of taking in food by a living being for growth of the body, repair of worn out tissues and to obtain energy. Nutrition is important because :- It repairs worn out tissues It helps us to obtain energy It grows the
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?
a chemical change is taking place
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 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.
What is meant by the term respiration?
Respiration is the process where organisms exchange gases with their environment. In animals, respiration typically involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. In plants, respiration involves taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
What energy transfer between tropic levels when taking into account the heat given off from cellular respiration?
When organisms use cellular respiration to process energy, only a small amount of energy is transferred to the next trophic level.
Organic function of taking in food is what?
Storing energy sources for subsequent release and use is the organic function of taking in food. Food offers cells a chance to access, process, release, and use the energy in carbohydrates and proteins. Energy supports life-promoting and life-sustaining activities within the organisms in question.
