Are animals chemoautotrophs?
No. We aren't autotrophs at all (one partial autotrophic animal has been found to exist), but no only some archea are chemoautotrophs
What are saprovore animals?
Saprovore animals are organisms that obtain soluble nutrients that are organic via absorption from inanimate objects. Most saprovores are fungi, protozoa and bacteria. Some animals like dung beetles and vultures could be considered saprovores, too.
What is a detntivore?
Detntivore is not a word. Do you mean Detritivore? If so the definition is as follows: Detritivores, also known as detritus feeders or saprophages, are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing organic matter).[1] By doing so, they contribute to decomposition and the nutrient cycles.They are like worms, fiddler crabs & slugs.
Why the poop's of cow decompose?
Because it is made up of organic matter which, like all organic matter that comes from plants and animals on this earth, is broken down and returned to the soil as nutrients for plants to grow on and, subsequently, animals to feed on.
What statement best describes one of these species of heterotrophs?
they are unable to synthesize organic nutrients from inorganic raw materialsThey are unable to synthesize organic nutrients from inorganic raw materials.they are unable to synthesize organic materials from inorganic raw materialsA heterotroph is an organism that cannot fix carbon and uses organic carbon for growth.[1] This contrasts with autotrophs, such as plants and algae, which can use energy from sunlight (photoautotrophs) or inorganic compounds (lithoautotrophs) to produce organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxideIt would likely to be a combination of a plant and an animal.
How does mushroom obtain its nutrients?
Mushrooms get their nutrients by decomposing organic matter.
What bacteria can be grown in inorganic nutrients and oxidizes ammonia to nitrate ion?
chemoautotrophs.
Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
What does a producer make food from?
usually the sun but chemoautotrophs do it using nutrients from sulphur vents
How do fungi and bacteria obtain food?
Fungi are heterophs,the obtain carbon from organic materials mainly by secreting extracellular enzymes and absorbing digested food or having symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic partners. Bacteria can be photoautotrops,photoheterophs,chemoautotrophs,chemoheterophs
What is the difference between autotrophs and chemoautotrophs?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using sunlight or inorganic compounds as a source of energy, such as plants. Chemoautotrophs are a specific type of autotrophs that obtain their energy from the oxidation of inorganic chemicals, such as certain bacteria that live in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Essentially, while all chemoautotrophs are autotrophs, not all autotrophs are chemoautotrophs.
How does the a fungus obtain nutrients?
Fungi obtains nutrients from organic substances through its cells. These cells help digest enzymes that help to break down the organic substances in order to digest them easier.
What is organic nutrients?
Organic nutrients are natural nutrients found in food. Some examples of organic nutrients are: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, amino acids, and vitamins.
Unlike photoautotrophs chemoautotrophs obtain energy by?
Photosynthesis for phototrophs, or chemosynthesis for chemotrophs.
Are fish chemoautotrophs?
No, Chemoautotrophs are Microorganisms (Bacteria).Search Chemoautotrophs on Wikipedia for more details.
How do eukaryotes obtain energy and nutrients?
they use the process hemolophotic which means they eat anything and take the nutrients out of what they need to survive. for example they may eat part of a leaf to get water.
How do chemoautotrophs increase productivity in photic and aphotic ecosystems?
Chemoautotrophs do not increase productivity in photic zones because they reside deep down on sea floors (abyssal zone) where no light penetrates. They are, however, active in the aphotic zone where no light from the sun is visible. There, these bacteria and protozoans take both organic and inorganic compounds provided by deep sea vents and become the "algae of the photic zone". Chemoautotrophs are the primary producers in the lower aphotic zone just like algae and phytoplankton is in the photic. The vital nutrients they provide depend on the type of chemoautotroph it is.
