What is the difference between autotroph and photoautotroph

Biology
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Heterotroph and Autotroph  

Explanation:

There is no such thing as a "phototroph" although I'm pretty sure you mean Heterotropth! A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. Meanwhile an autotroph is an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.. or they can produce their own food by photosynthesis (This is mostly the Plantae kingdom we're talking about!)

What happens to the phosphates when plants and animals die?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

When plants and animals die, organic molecules also undergoes decomposition and this causes the incorporated phosphates to go back to the soil or bodies of water.

Explanation:

Phosphates are naturally related to <u>"phosphorus."</u> <em>They play a vital role in the life of animals and plants. </em>Phosphorus can be commonly be found on the earth's land and water (although the land has a smaller amount of it). <u>Plants naturally absorb phosphate from where they're growing. Animals take up phosphates by eating plants.</u> The phosphate that plants get from the soil are considered inorganic. They only become organic when it is incorporated into the plants DNA (since this is an organic molecule).

So, this means that if there's a sufficient amount of phosphate, there will be more plants on earth as it is also important in the process of acquiring nutrients.

When animals and plants die, all of the organic molecules such as phosphate also breaks down and thus, it falls back to the soil or bodies of water. Then, they are ready to enter another Phosphorus cycle.

irina1246 [14]

Answer: The dead plants form the organic part of the soil.  This is because when plants die off they become dirt and mulch which is good for the plants. This is why people make a big deal out of compost. It is because it is healthy and organic for plants.
