We now know that they have unique physical, chemical, and genetic traits that set them apart from plants and other eukaryotes. For example, the cell walls of fungi are made of chitin, not cellulose. Also, fungi absorb nutrients from other organisms, whereas plants make their own food.
Terms matched with the right definitions.
1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph
2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.
3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.
4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.
5. A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.
6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.
An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.
Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion). As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it's broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.
Commensalism. the symbiont benefits and the host is unharmed.
