What is a science definition of consumer?
An animal that consumes(eats) food to survive, that depend on other organisms for food.
Organisms that grow on plant materials and absorb food from them are?
what are chicken nuggets
Organisms that must obtain nutrients and energy by eating other organisms are?
All animals are heterotrophs, getting their organic molecules (food, growth) from another organism. Those that consume other organisms are predators. The larger predatory animals that consume smaller animals are carnivores (meat eaters).
How does refrigeration help us preserve food for future use?
Most refrigeration prevents bacteria and other organisms from maintaining bodily functions. However, some organisms can go into hibernation until you take the food back out of the refrigerator.
An organism that must take in food is an?
Heterotroph, they go omnomnom on things. From single celled organisms to multicellular organisms, this term covers all biota that consume other biota for sustenance. Autotrophs create their food via chemosynthesis or photosynthesis.
What substances are particularly important in storing food in the cell?
In cells, substances such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins play crucial roles in food storage. Carbohydrates, in the form of glycogen in animals and starch in plants, serve as short-term energy reserves. Lipids, particularly in the form of fats and oils, provide long-term energy storage. Additionally, proteins can be stored as a source of amino acids and energy when needed.
What is the breaking down of food by organisms?
It's a chemical change, converting proteins into amino acids, fat into lipids, etc.
What are organisms that are suspended in the water and serve as the base of all aquatic food chains called?
The small organisms that are the base of aquatic food chains are called plankton.
Both Algae and plants store their food in the form of glycogen. Is this true?
No, that is not true: "All other major groups of organisms store food in the form of glycogen and other complex sugars, and/or lipids." The correct answer is starch although I am almost sure that protein would another good answer. Something that would not be a good answer though would be glycogen, glucose, and cellulose Hope that helps!!
Lipids and proteins are both types of?
macromolecules found in living organisms that serve important functions. Lipids are hydrophobic molecules that are essential for cell membrane structure and energy storage, while proteins are made up of amino acids and play crucial roles in cell structure, signaling, and enzymatic functions. Both lipids and proteins are necessary for overall cell function and form the basis of many physiological processes.
How are lipids obtained?
Lipids are obtained from the food we eat.
What would happen if lipids were to suddenly disappear from earth and why?
If lipids were to suddenly disappear from Earth, it would have catastrophic effects on all living organisms. Lipids are essential for forming cell membranes, storing energy, and serving as signaling molecules; their absence would disrupt cellular integrity and function. Additionally, many organisms rely on lipids for insulation and protection, leading to severe physiological consequences. The collapse of food chains and ecosystems would likely follow, as both plants and animals depend on lipids for survival and reproduction.
What is stored form of food in animals?
CArbohydrates and lipids are the major energy reserves for our body. CArbohydrate is stores as glycogen in liver and muscles whereas lipids are stored in the form of saturated fats like cholesterol.
Does sperm have food reserves?
?
Do all organisms use the same process to produce lipids?
No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
Producer in food chain?
A producer in a food chain is an organism that is able to produce its own food through photosynthesis, such as plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. They are essential as they are the primary source of energy for all other organisms in the food chain, and serve as the base for the entire ecosystem.
What foods have lipids?
grapes and grains and Other types of food.
