Define autotrophs and heterotrophs

Biology
1 answer:
julsineya [31]3 years ago
7 0
Autotrophs are organisms that produce complex organic compounds (fats, carbohydrates, proteins). Ex: planta, algae and some bacteria.

Heterotrophs are organisms that can’t produce their own foods (organic compounds) so they rely on eating other organisms (plants or animals) to obtain their energy. Ex: dogs, humans, cats, giraffes, ect.

How does limiting factors -such as space, light, and food- affect a population?
Anni [7]
These factors are essential for the growth and life span of the population of species in an ecosystem. The larger the space, the more light it obtains, and the more food the area produces; the larger the population of species in an ecosystem. having less space, light, and food, the results would be vice versa.

An element has a half-life of 30 years. If you start with 10g of this element, how many grams of this element would remain after
drek231 [11]

After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Half-life:</u>

  • In simple words, Half-life can be defined as the amount of time needed for a quantity to fall to half its value as contained at the beginning of the time period.
  • In this problem the half-life of the element is thirty years, then after thirty years half of the sample would have decayed and half would be left as it is.
  • After thirty years (The first half-life ) 30 /2 = 15 g declines and 15 g remains disappeared.
  • And after another sixty years (The two half-lives) 15 /2 = 7.5 g declines and 7.5 g remains disappeared.
  • After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.

The sensory receptors in the nose and tongue are stimulated by......
mart [117]

Answer:

chemicals

Explanation:

The nose and the tongue are two of the five sensory organs (others being skin, eyes, ears). These organs contain certain cellular structures called SENSORY RECEPTORS, which respond to different stimulus in the environment.

Nose and tongue are two organs that possess a type of sensory receptor called CHEMORECEPTORS. Chemoreceptors are receptors that respond to chemical stimuli. In other words, the receptors in the nose and tongue are stimulated by chemical substances e.g. food chemicals for TONGUE, chemicals in air for NOSE.

The analysis of a DNA molecule reveals that 30% of its nucleotides are adenine. What percentage of the same DNA molecule would b
Contact [7]

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases is equal to 100%.

Hence: A + C + G + T = 100%

Now, since adenine nucleotides is 30%, then thymine is 30% as well (A = T). Thus, the total of both is 60%.

From 100 remains 40% which is divided equally between guanine and cytosine, so each is 20%.

Thus, the percentage of the same DNA molecule that would be expected to be guanine nucleotides is 20%
