Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?

Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.

Gomez found the masses of three rocks for science project .the first rock had a mess of 19.28 grams, the second rock had a mass

ziro4ka [17]

The combined mass of rock 1 and 2 = 19.28 + 25.3
= 44.58

Difference between rock 3 and combined rocks
= 46.3 - 44.58
= 1.72 grams

therefore, the third rock was 1.72 grams greater than the combined mass of the other two rocks.

Hi there! The answer should be B. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which allows the plant to undergo photosynthesis, and this allows the plant to make its own food. Hope this helps you!
