What else can I help you with?
Why are the majority of bacteria considered heterotrophic?
Heterotrophic means " other eaters " which means these bacteria can not make their own food and much engulf it, whether other bacteria or plant like matter. Autotroph means " own food " and these bacteria preform photosynthesis.
Are all bacteria heterotrophs?
no, some bacteria are heterotrophic and some are autotrophic. Most bacteria are heterotrophic though.
What creates lichen?
It's one of these four: heterotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi heterotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi autotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi autotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi But I'm mot sure which.
Does respiration and photosynthesis both occur in all living things?
No, not all living things perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis, while most organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria, perform respiration to generate energy.
How do protista get there food?
Some protista are autotrophic, some heterotrophic. AUTOTROPHS These protista make their food through photosynthesis. HETEROTROPHS A) Feed on [bacteria] through their oral grooves or endocytosis.
What are organisms capable of?
All plants, phytoplankton, algae, and a class of bacteria known as photosynthetic [or 'heterotrophic'] use photosynthesis.
Why are the majority of bacteria considered heterotrophic?
Heterotrophic means " other eaters " which means these bacteria can not make their own food and much engulf it, whether other bacteria or plant like matter. Autotroph means " own food " and these bacteria preform photosynthesis.
Are all bacteria heterotrophs?
no, some bacteria are heterotrophic and some are autotrophic. Most bacteria are heterotrophic though.
Which process is not included in heterotrophic nutrition?
Photosynthesis is not included in heterotrophic nutrition. Heterotrophic organisms rely on consuming organic matter produced by autotrophic organisms instead of producing their own energy through photosynthesis.
Is paramecium heterotrophic?
Yes. Paramecium do not preform photosynthesis, which would make them autotrophic, so they must ingest their food for energy. Bacteria, for instance.
Is bacterium a hetrotrophs?
Yes, bacteria can be heterotrophs. Heterotrophic bacteria obtain carbon and energy by consuming organic compounds from their environment, unlike autotrophic bacteria that synthesize their own food through processes like photosynthesis.
How did autotrophic bacteria get food before there were plants and animals?
Autotrophic means that the organism produces it's own food by photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis. if you meant heterotrophic then you forgot, at least, that other bacteria were around to be eaten.
Is photosynthesis the only process that can make food?
No, photosynthesis is not the only process that can make food. Heterotrophic organisms, such as animals, fungi, and some bacteria, obtain food by consuming other organisms or organic matter. This process is known as heterotrophic nutrition.
Is bacteria autotroph or heterotroph?
Heterotrophic
What creates lichen?
It's one of these four: heterotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi heterotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi autotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi autotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi But I'm mot sure which.
Is Steptococcus pneumonia Autotrph or Hetroph?
All the pathogenic bacteria or for that purpose all the bacteria are heterotrophs.
What are heterotrophic bacteria?
Bacteria in which consume other bacteria. ie: not autotrophs (primary producers)
