Phototropic organisms can preform photosynthesis.

Heterotrophic organisms  cannot perform synthesis

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phototrophs:

  • Plants, Algae and some bacteria like cyanobacteria perform Photosynthesis to acquire energy. They abssorb energy from the sun to convert into Co2 and water into natural food particles required for the process of biosynthesis and respiration.
  • The presence of chlorophyll makes them eligible for performing photosynthesis.

Heterotrophs:

  • Heterotrophic organisms cannot perform photosynthesis because they are reliant on other organisms for survival. They get energy and carbon by consuming other organisms.
  • Heterotrophic organisms don't possess chlorophyll therefore they are unable to perform photosynthesis.

<u>Answer:</u>

Most plants, most algae and cyanobacteria kinds of organisms (Autotrophs) can perform photosynthesis while heterotrophs are organisms incapable of photosynthesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Photosynthesis is a mechanism used among plants as well as other species to transform energy from the sun into chemical energy which may be released later to power the functions of the species.

In autotrophs (organisms who self prepare there food ) with the support of a subsequent series of light-independent reactions like Calvin cycle, creates long-term energy collection in the form of sugars, while some bacteria use different mechanisms like the reverse Krebs cycle to accomplish the same purpose.

Heterotrophs are entities unable to photosynthesize and, by eating certain species, must therefore obtain energy and carbon from the food. In the term heterotroph: hetero means "other" while troph means "feeder", thus their food depends on other species.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The frequency will be  35/36

Explanation:

An AAaa tetraploid plant will only produce a gamete which will be Aa, but during a self crossing a progeny with genotype AAaa will be produced and this will happen at a frequency of 35/36 and this simply means that the progenies produced during the self crossing  will all have a dominant phenotype

10 points! When looking out of my back door, I see robins, blue jays, finches, crows, hawks and owls all living in the same area
forsale [732]

The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.
