Why it is that potassium acetate is seldom prescribed in dry state but usually in solution?
its easily dissolved thus making it easier to consume
What eats decomposers in a rainforest?
In tropical forests all organisms are dependent to some extent on bacteria. Sloths will consume insects for the bacteria that provides them with needed nutrients.
Why is loess soil usually fertile?
its usually made of sand or clay and its really grainy
Where are moderate climates usually found?
Moderate climates are usually found in hot tempetures.
What are high pressure systems usually not associated with?
High pressure systems are usually not associated with changeable weather.
Are plant and animals both heterotrophs?
Green plants are usually autotrophs
Are shrimp autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Sharks do not make their own food through inorganic means, therefore they are considered to be heterotrophs.i think you mixed this up with autograph/ autbiography/ and hetrosexualism.
What is the difference between hetrophic and autotrophic bacteria?
Heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy. Autotrophs use a number of systems including photosynthesis (light to chemical energy), thermal heat or chemical reactions to provide energy (usually archaebacteria in an anaerobic or oxygen free environment)
What do autotroph and heterotroph mean?
Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food, such as plants. their food comes form the sun meaning they use light energy to produce food. Although heterotrophs ultimately get their energy from the sun, but the way they obtain is different. in heterotrophs they obtain energy from the food they consume. For example eating plants that have obtained energy from the sun, or by eating animals that have eaten such plants.
Is a housefly an autotrophs or heterotrophs?
heterotroph. Autotrophs are producers, they rely on themselves to produce energy usually by photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis. A housefly does not produce its own energy, it relies on feeding on things such as fruit to break down and provide its protein, fats, energy. it needs to feed off of organic substances, therefore it is a heterotroph
Describe the 4 kingdoms that comprise the domain Eukarya?
Animals: Motile heterotrophs that are multicellular and widely dispersed over the earth. Plants: Sessile autotrophs that are multicellular and dispersed widely over the earth. Protists: Comprising both autotrophs and heterotrophs these, generally, single celled organisms are usually found in a watery environment. Fungi: These decomposing, multicelled detritovores are only found on the land where they are reasonably well dispersed.
Difference between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?
1} autotrophs --- green plants are able to prepare their own food from simple raw materials ---- carbon dioxide from the air , and water from the soil. plants get the enegy for preparing food from sunlight. this mode of nutrition where green plants make food themselves from simple substances is called autotrophic nutrition. such plants are therefore called autotrophs. 2} hetrotrophs --- animals and non - green plants, such as fungi and bacteria, cannot prepare their own food. they depend directly or indirectly on green plants for their nutrition. this mode of nutrition is called hetrotrophic nutrition. animals and non - green plants are known as hetrotrophs.
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.
Organisms that produce their own food are?
Usually plants and they are known as autotrophs or autotrophic.
Is animalia an autotroph?
According to whittaker's 5 kingdom classification - its very clear that autotrophs are only plants. Animals can only be heterotrophs. Think of it like this - Monera Protists Fungi Plants Animals Cell Type Prokaryotes |<-----------------Eukaryotes-------------------->| Autotroph Yes Yes but can NO Yes No be heterotrophs also Cell wall Yes No Yes Yes NO No. Of Cells. Unicellular Unicellular MultiCellular MultiCellular MultiCellular Cell level Tissue Level Organ Level
Did heterotrophic prokaryotes evolve before autotrophic prokaryotes?
Archaea were thought to be the most primitive group. However studies of rRNA indicate that an universal ancestor split into 3 lineages. That split led to the Archaea, the bacteria and the Eukaryotes.
What is the difference between chemosynthetic autotroph and a photosynthetic autotroph?
Phototrophs are organisms (usually plants) that carry out photosynthesis to acquire energy. They use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic materials to be utilized in cellular functions such as biosynthesis and respiration. chemotroph are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donating molecules in their environments. These molecules can be organic (organotrophs) or inorganic (lithotrophs). The chemotroph designation is in contrast to phototrophs which utilize solar energy. Chemotrophs can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
