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.

<span>AUTOTROPH 1. an organism that can make its own food

Plants like algae are autotrophs. They produce their own food with the use of light, carbon dioxide, water, and other chemicals that are vital in their food producing activity. Aside from plants, there are autotroph organisms. An example of this is phytoplanktons. 

CALVIN CYCLE 2. the dark reaction process of photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide for the synthesis of carbohydrates

The Calvin Cycle has three phases. These are 1) carbon fixation, 2) reduction reactions, and 3) RuBP regeneration. 
This cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and it converts carbon dioxide and other chemical compounds into glucose.

CAROTENOID PIGMENT 3. a pigment ranging in color from yellow to red; helpful in capturing the Sun's light energy for use in photosynthesis

Carotenoid is a plant pigment. It produces yellow, orange, and red colors of many fruits and vegetables. Carotenoid pigment is identified as a class of phytonutrients that benefits human health. People who consumes carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables enjoys the antioxidant property of the food as well as the Vitamin A that some carotenoid convert into. 

CHLOROPHYLL 4. a green pigment in plants that serves to trap the Sun's energy for photosynthesis

Chlorophyll is the combination of two Greek words "chloros" and "phyllon" which means green and leaf respectively. This pigment also contributes to human wellness as consumption of plants rich in chlorophyll are proven to be very healthy. These health benefits are 1) helps fight cancer, 2) improves liver detoxification, 3) speeds up the healing of wounds, 4) improves digestion and helps control weight, and 5) protects skin from skin virus like cold sores.

CHLOROPLAST 5. the tiny body that contains chlorophyll; part of the cell in which photosynthesis takes place

Chloroplast is a type of plastid that can be distinguished from other plastids due to its green color. Chloroplast is the only plastid that contains chlorophylls a and b, thus its green color. 

PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6. a process that involves the use of carbon dioxide and water in the production of glucose and oxygen using the Sun's energy

RADIATION 7. transfer of heat or energy through rays of various wavelengths

</span><span>Radiation is defined as energy travelling through space. Sunshine or sunlight is an example of radiation. Its ultra violet rays radiates heat on the earths' surface which in turn helps our autotrophs undergo photosynthesis.

Chromosome is to Nucleus as DNA is to ?
kakasveta [241]

Chromatin

Chromosome, the highest packing level of DNA, is packed in nucleus. DNA strand itself is packed in chromatin. Chromatin is DNA packaging into 30nm fibers that involve DNA strand with scaffolding around DNA proteins, like histones, in eukaryotic cells’ nucleus.

Explanation:

The DNA strand is folded into nucleosomes, bead-like structures on the DNA and fold up into the 30nm fibers. During meiosis and mitosis, the chromatin is super-coiled up into thicker fibers called chromosomes. Chromosomes within the nucleus can be viewed by a light microscope in a cell in metaphase.
