The origin of all energy for life on earth is the sun. Only plants and other photosynthesizers (i.e.alge) can use the sun's energy to support their own life. All other life on Earth (heterotrophs) have to get their energy either from eating organisms that directly get their energy from the sun (plants), or by eating organisms that ate organisms that got their energy from the sun.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the process that heterotropsh gets energy from?
Heterotrophs get energy by eating plants. The process is called food chain.
Algae and multicellular plants are autotrophs because they?
No, not all algae are autotrophs. There are some that are autotrophs whereas there are others that are heterotrophs. Autotrophs refers to the members of the animal kingdom that make their own food.
How nearly all energy for life comes directly or indirectly from the Sun given that heterotrophs get their energy from the food they eat.?
Ask yourself where the "food" gets its energy.
Are plants herbivores?
Plants are producers not consumers therefore they are not herbivores because herbivores are plant eaters
Are green plants heterotrophs?
Most of them are not, They are autotrophs.That means that they are able to produce their own organic compounds which are used for energy gaining through a series of biochemical reactions (photosynthesis). Some of the plants are partially heterotrophs - They may consume already prepared organic compounds but also are able to make their own chemicals.Such plants are the carnivorous plants (venus flytrap, Nepenthes and others). Part of the plants are mycoheterotrophs, which means that they are unable to make their own chemicals and uptake them with the help of different fungi (special type of symbiosis known as mycorrhiza - known in many orchids).
How can heterotrophs and autotrophs be compared and contrasted?
Heterotrophs do not make their own food and autotrophs make their own food. Autotroph=Plants Heterotroph=Animals
Are plants heterotrophs?
Fungi are heterotrophic but not plants .
What else can a heterotrophs be called?
Heterotrophs are animals that cannot make their food, like plants can. the most common kingdom of heterotrophs is the Animalia kingdom. Hope this helps.
Is plants autototrophs or heterotrophs?
Autotrophs, because they produce their own food.
Do heterotrophs support autotrophs in the food chain?
No, Autotrophs are producers that make their own food for example plants using light for photosynthesis. Heterotrophs eat the autotrophs, so really autotrophs support the heterotrophs in the cycle.
How do deers depends on plants to survive?
Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.
What are differences between heterotroph and autotroph?
Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.
What are the name of organisms that do photosynthesis?
Heterotrophs and Autotrophs
What are heterotrophs in an ecosystem?
there are a number of heterotrophs like:- 1. flies 2. pig 3. honey bee 4. human beings 5.lizards 6. zebras 7. lion 8. tiger 9. giraffe 10. elephant
Is a eel a hetertroph?
Since they are not plants, they can't make their own food, making them heterotrophs.
Can you use hetertroph in a sentence?
Humans are heterotrophs, because they cannot make food themselves like plants.
What can a heterotroph be called?
Heterotrophs are animals that cannot make their food, like plants can. the most common kingdom of heterotrophs is the Animalia kingdom. Hope this helps.
