Autotrophs produce food through what process?

Biology
2 answers:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

1. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.

2. Carbon Dioxide and water are the raw material for photosynthesis.

3. This is a trick question because nitrogen is part of oxygen, so the answer is definitely oxygen.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

1. photosynthesis

2. Carbon dioxide

3. oxygen

Explanation:

Autotrophic beings are organisms capable of producing their own food (organic substances) from inorganic substances taken from the environment. The term autótrofo is of Greek origin where autos means "the own", "alone" and trophos, that feeds. The synthesis of nutrients by autotrophs occurs through photosynthesis.

When the plant is performing photosynthesis, the various carbon atoms that are part of CO2 start to be used in the formation of the organic molecular group. The rest of the molecules end up being degraded by the plant itself during the respiration of the cells. In summary, CO2 and water in the presence of light energy are the reagents of photosynthesis.

The oxygen released by photosynthesis carried out by eukaryotes and cyanobacteria comes from water, not carbon dioxide, as was previously thought. Oxygen and glucose are the products of photosynthesis.

The evolutionary history for a group of species is called a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The evolutionary history for a group of species is called a <u>phylogeny.</u>

Explanation:

Phylogeny is defined as the evolutionary history or evolutionary chronicle of the species, that is, it studies the relationship deals with the relationship between members of a group of species from the morphological, anatomical and embryological point of view. In this way, phylogeny explains the chronicle of each species, the different bifurcations, families and genetic structures, focusing on the evolution of the species in a global way.

The formation of sinkholes has become a fairly common phenomenon in the state of Florida. Most sinkholes are small, but some sin
mezya [45]

Answer:

Sinkholes can occur when<u> excessive water use lowers a water table and weakens the substrate.</u>

Explanation:

There are various causes for sinkholes, but all are related to water and how this can affect the soil. One of the causes of sinkholes is the excessive use of water. Excessive use lowers the volume of water in aquifers. As a consequence, the substrates that are above the aquifer change. They can not support large amounts of weight, leading to a sinkhole and soil with low permeability.

Which process will be immediately inhibited if cytochrome c is unable to interact with cytochrome c oxidase
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately,  respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.
