Humans are heterotrophs.

<em><u>Here is why:</u></em>

Heterotrophs are organisms that <em>cannot </em>make their own food. Although us humans can cook, we can not take energy from the sun and make it into glucose, making energy for ourselves.

On the other hand, autotrophs are algae, plants, and even some bacteria. All of these examples <em>can </em>make their own food. They use the process of <u>photosynthesis</u> to take energy from the sun, along with carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil around it to produce glucose. This glucose is used as their energy, which they make independently.

What connects the nitrogenous based to each other?
Keith_Richards [23]

Hello!

There are two possible answers to this. The one I'm assuming you're looking for is hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bonds are the bonds which hold together the double helix shape of DNA. These bonds result from a positive and negative charge drawing two molecules closer to each other. These bonds are generally seen as weak, however, since there are so many of these bonds (as there are so many nitrogenous bases in one strand of DNA), the double helix strand is fairly strong.

Hope this helps!

Need The Answer ASAP
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) as the light colored moths were seen and eaten, the allele for dark colour became more prevalent in the population.</em>

Explanation:

The process of natural selection tends to favour those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment. Evolution changes the allele frequencies of a population over time depending on the traits favoured by natural selection.

Before the industrial revolution, the colour of the trees was lighter and hence, the light coloured moths were better adapted to such environments as they could hide from predation. After the industrial revolution, the colour of the woods of trees became darker. The light coloured moths were no more able to hide from their predators and hence their population declined.
