Compare and contrast autotrophs and heterotrophs

Biology

Both life forms that require energy from food to sustain life Autotrophs make their own food by synthesizing in the form of photosynthesis (using the sun) and chemosynthesis (using chemicals in the environment around the life form) Heterotrophs rely on other organisms to get food (eating plants, animals, or bacteria) Also use this (I didn't make it but it is useful) https://quizlet.com/15310050/similarities-and-differences-between-autotrophs-and-heterotprohs-flash-cards/

Compare: They are both living organisms.

contrast: Autotrophs make their own food. But heterotrophs can not make their own food.

Which statement is most accurate concerning how photosystem II compares to the electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria? I
nordsb [41]

The correct answer is: In both systems, ATP is produced by chemiosmosis.  

Both of the processes, photosynthesis and electron transport chain in mitochondria use chemiosmosis (movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient) to produce energy or ATP (via ATP synthase). The movement of hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane in order to galvanize the production of ATP is equal to the movement of those ions across the inner mitochondria membrane. Electrons are accepted by NADPH in photosynthesis (but not FADH2 as in mitochondria).

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (a yeast species) mutants are available that grow on pyruvate or ethanol, but not sugars or glycerol.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The enzyme is the pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The designated enzyme can only grow in pyruvate or in ethanol. They are said to be in anaerobic conditions. If the end product of glycolysis is pyruvate and the enzyme that transforms phosphoenol pyruvate into pyruvate is called pyruvate kinase. In a reaction under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate is transformed into ethanol. So if the pyruvate kinase enzyme is mutated, pyruvate cannot be transformed into ethanol and Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not survive in that medium.

Select the correct answer.
Oduvanchick [21]
The answer is C.

The man’s genotype must be AB. The woman’s genotype can be either BB or BO as both correspond to a blood type (which is a phenotype) of B.

Each parent passes on one allele. The man can contribute A or B and the woman can contribute B or O.

The possible genotype combinations are therefore AB, AO, BB, and BO. These correspond to the phenotypes AB, A, B, and B.
