How do autotrophs obtain energy?
Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun, or chemicals in sunless environments, and Heterotrophs obtain energy by the foods they consume
How does vegetarians obtain energy in the energy pyramid?
The vegetarians obtain energy in the energy pyramid because vegetables contain more nutrients
Does poison ivy obtain energy?
Yes, all plants obtain energy from the sun.
Do virus obtain and use energy?
They obtain it but when it goes away, the energy goes back into your body.
What are three different ways bacteria can obtain energy?
Bacteria can obtain energy from a variety of sources:Photosynthesis: Yes! its not only plants that perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is also done by some bacteria which have chloroplasts.Chemosynthesis: Some bacteria can use chemicals like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) instead of water and carry out metabolic reactions to generate energy.Heterotrophy: This is by far the most common form of obtaining energy. In this, the bacteria obtain energy from nutrients like the food that we eat or other sources like cellulose (as in leaves), carbohydrates (as in cereals, etc), proteins (as in meat, etc) and lipids or fats (as in butter, ghee etc).
What is the Autotrophs scientific name?
Autotrophs can be phototrophs or lithotrophs (chemoautotrophs). Phototrophs use light as an energy source, while lithotrophs oxidize inorganic compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, ammonium and ferrous iron.
How do bacteria get their nuterients?
Different bacteria get their energy from different sources. There are three main types in bacterial metabolism: Phototrophs - get energy from sunlight Lithotrophs - get energy from inorganic compounds Organotrophs - get energy from organic compounds (compounds containing Carbon)
How do autotrophs obtain energy and how do heterotrophs obtain energy?
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
How producers consumers and decomposers obtain energy?
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
How is the energy produced by nuclear fission used?
