Why do plants not need heterotrophs

1 answer:

3 0

Heterotrophs contrast with autotrophs, such as plants and algae, which can use energy from sunlight(photoautotrophs) or inorganic compounds (lithoautotrophs) to produce organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxide. These reduced carbon compounds can be used as an energy source by the autotroph and provide the energy in food consumed by heterotrophs. Ninety-five percent or more of all types of living organisms are heterotrophic, including all animals and fungi and most bacteria and protists.[4]

Which of the following is a nonpoint source of water pollution

Leokris [45]

Answer:

"Rainwater pouring from an eroded bank into a river" is a non-point source of water pollution.

Explanation:

Bank erosion is the washing away of stream or river banks. This is distinct from erosion of the watercourse bed, known as scour. These erosion undermines the roots of trees which develop by a lake. As the roots closely connect the soil, they form abutments that jut out above the surface.

Non-point source water contamination is induced by widespread and isolated waste sources such as rain and snowmelt runoff, spills, leaks, and sediment erosions. To release any pollutant, without a permit, from a point source into navigable waters is illegal according to the Clean Water Act.
