How might the size of a molecule affect the way in which an organism obtains the nutrients in that molecules?
The size of a molecule may affect the way in which an organism obtains the nutrients because the larger the molecule you have, the more the element can hold, so that would mean that there would be more nutrients for the organism.
Is the jellyfish autotroph or heterotroph?
An autotroph is a plant, which makes it's own energy. A heterotroph is an animal that eats other organisms to get energy.
How do heterotrophic bacteria obtain energy?
Obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules. Heterotrophs are unable to synthesize organic carbon-based compounds independently from the inorganic environment's sources (e.g. Animalia, unlike Plantae, cannot photosynthesize) and therefore must obtain their nutrition from another heterotroph or an autotroph.
What obtains its energy from ingesting food?
my mom
What is the process by which an autotroph obtains energy from inorganic compounds instead of light is called what?
Most autotophs that live in environments that have no light rely on chemosynthesis to synthesize energy storing molecules (mostly as carbohydrates). Many chemosynthesizers live near hyrdrotermal vents and use the hydrogensulfide emitted by the vents to "fuel" the chemical processes of chemosynthesis.
An organism that obtains its nutrients from detritus?
Detritus
Is grass autotroph or hetetroph?
It's a heterotroph.
What are an organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes?
Heterotrophs. For example: fish and frogs.
What is an organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules?
saprobiotic organisms. many are bacteria or fungi
What is the heterotroph obtaining from the autotroph?
The heterotrophs obtain food energy and other nutrients from autotrophs.
Is a hawk an autotroph?
No. An autotroph (auto = self; troph = nutrition) is an organism that obtains the energy it needs to live and grow via energy from the sun (photoautotrophy) or energy stored in the chemical bonds of simple inorganic molecules (chemoautotrophy). An owl is regarded as a heterotroph (hetero = other) because it obtains the energy it needs to live and grow by consuming other living organisms, such as rodents.
How does a shark get nutrients?
A Shark obtains nutrients by eating.
Is a maple tree an autotroph?
autotroph, because it creates energy by itself from basic parts, using sun energy and CO2.
Which of these is the source of nutrients for an autotroph?
Inorganic substances
An autotroph is an organism that?
An autotroph is an organism that only needs inorganic nutrients and sunlight to survive. (eg. plants)
What animal or plant consumes or obtains nutrientsfrom animals?
An animal or plant that obtains nutrients from animals is a carnivore.
Why is a mushroom considered a heterotrophs?
It obtains nutrients from its environment
