In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)
What else can I help you with?
Kingdom of heterotrophic or autotrophic prokaryotes with peptidoglycan?
The Kingdom Eubacteria meets these criteria.
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 do heterotrophic animals eat?
heterotrophic animals eat mostly plants and other animals like fish,deer etc.
Is a yeast heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Fungi are mostly autotrophs but some are heterotroph
Is the plant kingdom autotrophic or heterotrophic?
it is the planta kingdom actually but anyway it is autotrophic mostly but i am not sure about the flytrap plants
What is the unicellular prokaryotes with cell walls without peptidoglycan. both autotrophic and heterotrophic?
The unicellular prokaryotes with cell walls that lack peptidoglycan are known as archaea. These microorganisms can be both autotrophic, obtaining energy through processes like chemosynthesis or photosynthesis, and heterotrophic, relying on organic compounds for nutrition. Archaea are often found in extreme environments, such as hot springs and salt flats, but they also inhabit more moderate environments. Their unique biochemistry distinguishes them from bacteria and eukaryotes.
Is what is thermophiles prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Thermophiles are typically prokaryotic organisms. They are often classified as bacteria or archaea that thrive in high-temperature environments.
Are horses heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Heterotrophic.
Do Prokaryotes have Prokaryotes?
yes prokaryotes have prokaryotes
Are animals heterotrophic by ingestion or absorption?
Animals are heterotrophic by ingestion. Fungi are heterotrophic by absorption.
Are amobea autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Amoebae are heterotrophic.
Which of the following best describes a characteristic that distinguishes animals from protists?
Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic organisms with specialized tissues and organs for different functions, while protists are mostly unicellular or simple multicellular, with a wide range of nutritional modes including autotrophic and heterotrophic.
