What gets passed through an ecosystem along a food chain?
Energy and nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are passed through an ecosystem along a food chain. Energy is transferred from one organism to another as they consume each other, while nutrients are recycled through decomposition and nutrient cycling processes.
What is a heterotrophic absorber?
A heterotrophic absorber is an organism that obtains organic nutrients by absorbing dissolved organic matter directly from its environment. These organisms do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophic organisms. Instead, they rely on external sources of organic material for energy and nutrients.
What is an organism that gets its energy from photosynthesis?
Light
What animal gets nutrients from eating other animals?
A parasite is an animal that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients from the host.

What is the difference between a parasite and a symbiont?
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in another organism (the host) and benefits at the host's expense, potentially harming the host.

What does host mean in a science term?
An organism who gets taken over by another organism.
Define autotroph and heterotroph?

Are parasites a type of algae?
No. A parasite is an animal or plant that lives in or on another animal or plant and gets food or protection from it. For example- mistletoe is a plant that grows in a tree, and sucks nutrients from the tree.
What is an organism that grows on or in other organisms?
An organism that grows on or in another organism is a parasite. Parasites have a role in organic gardening. For example, parasitic wasps may lay their eggs on larvae. This colonization is to the benefit of the wasp, and to the detriment of the larvae. The larval pest thereby is kept from further defoliation of a plant, and from reaching the adult stage of continued defoliation and reproduction of more defoliators.
Do bread mold gets its nutrients from bread?
Yes, bread mold gets its nutrients from the bread as it breaks down and feeds on the carbohydrates within the bread. Mold spores land on the bread and grow under favorable conditions, such as warmth and moisture, eventually consuming the bread for nutrients.
What is an organism that gets its food from living in or on another organism?
Parasite is an organism that gets its food from living in or on another organism. Parasites harm their hosts to varying degrees, ranging from mild irritation to severe disease and even death. They rely on the host for survival and reproduction.
