Answer:
An autotroph is a cell that is capable of producing its own energy using photosynthesis or, less commonly, chemosynthesis.
A heterotroph is a cell that must consume its energy from external sources, for instance, hunting for prey or eating autotrophs.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
I'm not writing your paragraph for you, but I'll give you some help on it.
Explanation:
2 animals that will compete are ants
they are constantly fighting for new territory
What happens, is that when the attackers come, the scouts for the defenders spray something (I forget what) into the air. This alerts the more heavily armed troops nearby. If the defenders win, the attacks are driven back to their colony. If the attackers win, the ants in the defending colony are either overrun and killed, or they run. If the attackers win, they find all the larvae in the nest and either kill them to stop the line together, or in some cases, eat them.
Hope this helps.
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.
Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.
The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.
Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.
Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.
Answer:
The answer is double helix.
Explanation:
In its natural state, each DNA molecule is actually composed of two single strands held together along their length with hydrogen bonds between the bases. Watson and Crick proposed that the DNA is made up of two strands that are twisted around each other to form a right-handed helix, called a double helix.
Hope this helps!! ;)
They often respond to Quorum sensing which is determined by the cell density. Bacteria cells secrete molecules that can be detected by other bacteria, Quorum sensing allows bacteria to sense the concentration of these signalling molecules to monitor the local density of cells. It used by bacteria to coordinate certain behaviors , such as the production of biofilms.
