Answer:it obtains it energy by feeding on other organisms

Explanation:animals and plants needs energy to carry out their normal functions such as growth.some are autotrophs ,others are heterotrophs.

Autotrophs can make their own food through photosynthesis.that is they use energy from the environment and inorganic nutrients to synthesis their food.autotrophs are majorly green plants,algae and cyanobacteria.

Chemoautotrophs are autotrophs which get their energy from chemical reactions in order to produce their food.example is bacteria

Heterotrophs get their energy by feeding on other organisms and digesting them .they depend on autotrophs directly or indirectly for their source of energy.for example,a deer feeds on green plants ,which are autotrophs.in this case,the deer is said to be a herbivore

lana66690 [7]

The answer is; C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

Building blokes of proteins are _____

gulaghasi [49]

The building blocks of protein are C. AMINO ACIDS.

Amino acids are made up of a center carbon atom bound positively to a charged amino group and a negatively charged carboxyl group and a side chain.

The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of an amino acids that are attached together by a peptide bond

The secondary structure of a protein, the polypeptide is folded through the mechanisms of amino acids rotating around bonds folding into a helix or a pleated sheet structure and stabilized by a hydrogen bond.

Tom [10]

In the greenhouse effect, far infrared radiation is emitted from the Earth's surface and absorbed and reemitted by some gases in the atmosphere.

These gases have increased in concentration over the past century.

<h3>What is the greenhouse effect?</h3>

The greenhouse effect refers to the effect that occurs due to certain gases present in the atmosphere which serves as blanket by preventing escape of heat from the earth.

Greenhouse gases include most especially carbon dioxide.
