Hydra cannot produce food by itself because it lacks the necessary structures for photosynthesis, such as chloroplasts. Instead, it is a carnivorous organism that primarily feeds on small aquatic animals like zooplankton and insect larvae. While hydra has a symbiotic relationship with certain algae in some species, it relies on these external food sources for energy and nutrients. Thus, it is heterotrophic rather than autotrophic.
true
They are both producers of food
A heterotroph cannot produce its own food, an autotroph can! A chemotroph makes food by compounds(chemicals like table salt(NaCl)
No, gymnosperms cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis. Instead, they rely on their leaves (needles) to carry out photosynthesis and produce food for the plant. Gymnosperms are heterotrophic, meaning they must obtain nutrients from their environment.
The body cannot produce iron on its own, so it must obtain iron from food sources. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood and is important for overall health.
A parasitic plant.
The green pigment in hydra organisms, called "hydra-chlorophyll," is not produced by the hydra itself but is obtained from the algae that live symbiotically within its cells. This pigment allows for photosynthesis to occur within the hydra and provides energy for the organism.
All plants that produce their own food, but a mushroom cannot produce their own food.
no
A consumer.
human body
true
The only organisms that can produce their own food are plants this process is known as photosynthesis.They make their own food using sunlight.
Organisms that cannot produce their own food are called heterotrophs. They must obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Diffusion
They cannot photosynthesise which means they cannot convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food).
Cats cannot produce their own food. They are obligate carnivores, meaning they need to consume animal flesh to meet their nutritional requirements. Cats rely on a diet of meat for essential nutrients such as taurine, which they cannot produce on their own.
