Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?

Biology
1 answer:
nydimaria [60]3 years ago
4 0
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.

Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach
leva [86]

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.

Match each moon or planet to the most accurate characteristic.
Olegator [25]

Each moon or planet matched to the most accurate characteristic;  

1. It contains large amounts of frozen water - C. Europa

2. High levels of carbon dioxide increase the temperature of its atmosphere - B. Venus

3. It does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere - A. Earth's moon

4. Astronomers believe there is a good chance it contains liquid water - D. Mars

Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Others are Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. An outer layer of water, about 100 km (62 mi) thick, covered the surface of Europa. A part of the outer layer (crust) is said to be frozen, while the other part is a liquid ocean below the ice.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest planet in the solar system. The atmosphere of Venus is dense, and it is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (roughly 96.5 percent), which traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.
