What is called an organism that requires the consumption of other organisms for survival?
A heterotroph ('eating others'). This can mean the consumption of animals or plants (as both are organisms), and makes all animals, some plants (carnivorous or parasitic) and all fungi heterotrophs. 'Regular' photosynthesizing plants 'feed' off sunlight, making them autotrophs ('eating independently').
Is photosynthesis a noun or a verb?
Photosynthesis is a noun. It refers to the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water.
Do plants make food all the time?
No-only when they are photosynthesizing. This occurs when there is light, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll (green pigment, usually in the leaves). Therefore, it doesn't occur in the dark or when the leaves have fallen in the colder months.
How do photosynthesizing plants affect the carbon cycle?
They don't affect the carbon cycle, they are part of it. Vegetation is one of the many ways that carbon moves in and out of the air. Another common way is the ocean absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Which living things give off CO2?
Every living organism gives off carbon dioxide and even plants do when they are not photosynthesizing.
Do plants REALLY do all the photosynthesizing?
All green plants are capable of photosynthesis. Some plants, like those living in deep-sea vents, use inorganic chemicals to manufacture their food.
What process do plants use it for?
for photosynthesizing
Is typically associated with a reduction in photosynthesizing plants in a water supply?
An increase in pollutants like nitrates or phosphates can lead to algal blooms in the water, which can overshadow photosynthesizing plants and reduce their growth due to competition for sunlight and nutrients. This decrease in photosynthesizing plants can disrupt the balance of the aquatic ecosystem and lower water quality.
What is photosynthesizing organisms?
A photosynthesizing organism is one that uses the energy of the sun to produce carbon-based materials from carbon dioxide & water; oxygen is produced as a by-product All green plants are photosynthesizing organisms; so are some algae
What things get their food and energy from non living things?
Plants. =P Plants are autotrophs, meaning 'self eating', photosynthesizing their own energie from the sun. All the rest of life is heterotrophs, or 'eating another'.
Since oxygen gas is being released it can be inferred that the plant is?
Photosynthesizing. Oxygen is a byproduct of the photosynthesis process in plants.
Have plants exitsed for at least 3 billion years?
No. Plants emerged around 1.2 billion years ago, but there were photosynthesizing bacteria 3 billion years ago.

which cell is most actively photosynthesizing?
In plants, light passes through to the palisade mesophyll cells where most of the photosynthesis takes place.
Is paramecium plantlike?
No they move aroung and eat food (more like us) instead of photosynthesizing (getting energy from the sun, like plants.)
What does it mean when a marijuana plant has 13 leaves?
It means that it's photosynthesizing well... That's all
Why fungi do not photosynthesise?
because they don't have chloroplasts.. these organelles are necessary for photosynthesis.
