A consumer, or heterotroph, gets its energy comes from the foods it consumes. An example of this is a human, who gets energy from the foods it eats every day.

On the other hand a producer, or autotroph, produces its energy by itself.

An example of this is a plant, who uses photosynthesis to combine different things, like sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, to make their own food, in the form of glucose, along with other byproducts.

Explain what happens when hypothermia sets in (when enzymes get too cold!)

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The shape of an enzyme also depends on its temperature. When enzymes get too warm, they get too loose. And when they get too cold, then they get too tight. Since the function of this enzyme depends on its temperature, the chemical reaction will only take place when the temperature is just right.
