when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.

1. identify whether following have ionic or covalent bonding. Give your reasons: Oxygen molecule, water, calcium oxide, hydrogen
Romashka [77]
First you need to know the different between an ionic and covalent bond. An ionic bond is the pairing of a metal and non-metal element. A covalent bond is the pairing of 2 nonmetals.

Metals are the elements at the left of the periodic table while non-metals are the elements at the right of the periodic table.

You should also know the diatomic (di means 2) molecules also known as the fab 7. These molecules will always form covalent bonds. These molecules are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. With the subscripts, these molecules would be written as H ₂, N ₂, O ₂, F ₂, Cl ₂, Br ₂, and I ₂.
