What happens to the energy stored in an autotroph when it is eaten by a heterotroph?
Autotrophs store energy in long chains of glucose molecules. These chains can be either starch or cellulose, depending on how the glucose are connected. When a heterotroph consumes the autotroph, it breaks down the cellulose or starch into its basic glucose components. The consumer either completely breaks down the glucose for energy, or it stores the molecules as fat or glycogen.

What happens to food in order for it to be stored in ATP?
Respiration should take place. There energy of food is stored in ATP
What is an organizm that makes it's own food?
An organism that makes its own food is called an autotroph. This process is known as photosynthesis, where autotrophs use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of stored energy. This group includes plants, algae, and some bacteria.
What happens to glucose that is not used for any respiration inside plant cells?
Glucose that is not used for structural carbohydrates or other functions such as recognition molecules is often metabolized for chemical energy or stored as starch for later energy utilization.
Where do you think energy is stored durning photosynthesis?
Energy is stored in carbohydrates. It is storing as chemical energy.
What do you call stored energy that is ready to be used?
Stored energy that is ready to be used is typically called potential energy. This energy is stored in an object due to its position or state, and can be converted to kinetic energy when the object is in motion.
What is the energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to make its own food?
autotroph
What happens when a heterotroph eats more food than it needs?
it is stored by an organism as fatIt is stored by an organism as fat.
Is a hawk an autotroph?
No. An autotroph (auto = self; troph = nutrition) is an organism that obtains the energy it needs to live and grow via energy from the sun (photoautotrophy) or energy stored in the chemical bonds of simple inorganic molecules (chemoautotrophy). An owl is regarded as a heterotroph (hetero = other) because it obtains the energy it needs to live and grow by consuming other living organisms, such as rodents.
Food is converted into ATP what happens when a heterotroph eats more food than it needs?
It is stored by an organism as fat.
What happens to the energy not stored in the body?
what happened to the energy that is not stored in your body
What happens to the energy that is not used by the plants?
It is stored as glycogen.
What happens to food taken in by an organism?
The energy from the food is stored
What happens to kinetic energy when a machine stops?
It is converted into mostly potential (stored) energy.
What happens to the sugar which is not used for energy?
It can be stored in your muscles and liver as glycogen. It can also be converted to fat and stored.
What happens to the solar energy absorbed by plants during photosyntesis?
Stored as chemical energy in glucose
What happens to food energy that is not stored as glycogen or fat?
It is used by the body.
What happens when chemical energy in food is not used?
It is stored in the body as fat.
