I had this on my BIO quiz earlier today. Because heterotrophs are not photosynthetic they receive their energy in the same way we do, food. Heterotrophs can be classified as consumers which means they eat (and get energy) from other plants or animals.
heterotrophs
heterotrophs and autotrophs depend on each when heterotrophs obtain food by decomposing other organisms. To live, all organisms, including plants, must release the energy in sugars and other compounds.
Scientists believe that the first living cells on Earth were likely anaerobic heterotrophs because early Earth lacked oxygen, and these organisms do not require oxygen for their metabolism. Anaerobic heterotrophs can obtain the carbon compounds they need for energy from organic molecules in their environment, making them well-suited for the conditions of early Earth.
Mackerel are heterotrophs because they obtain their energy by consuming other organisms as they are carnivorous fish. They cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
No, fungi are not autotrophs. They are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain their nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment.
Heterotrophs require oxygen as the essential atmospheric gas for cellular respiration, which is the process that generates ATP (energy) for their metabolic activities.
Heterotrophs benefit from photosynthesis primarily by obtaining energy indirectly through the food chain. Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose and oxygen, which plants produce and release. Heterotrophs consume these plants (or other organisms that have eaten plants) to obtain the energy and organic compounds necessary for their survival. Additionally, the oxygen released during photosynthesis is essential for cellular respiration in heterotrophs.
there was no oxygen in Earth's early atmosphere.
Heterotrophs use glucose as a food molecule to make energy through a process called cellular respiration. Glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the primary energy source for cells.
Heterotrophs.
The answer is ......... Heterotroph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prey are heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs :D
Humans are heterotrophs Plants are autotrophs
Here are the answer choices: Which of these statements is true about autotrophs, but not heterotrophs? They use sugar and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water. They use chlorophyll and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugars. They use sunlight, water, and oxygen to make chlorophyll. We really need more information, so resubmit the question with more detail.
Yes, jellyfish are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs eat and are consumers. Jellyfish eat, and are consumers: therefore, they are heterotrophs.
