Answer:

Answer is option (2) and (4).

Prokaryotes that obtain both energy and carbon as they decomposes dead organisms - heterotroph and chemotroph.

Explanation:

(1) Autotrophs or Producers - Organisms that produce their own food and get the energy to make food from inorganic sources or sunlight. They are the base level of the energy pyramid of an ecosystem. The existence of all other organisms depends on autotrophs as they provide fuel for others. Examples of autotrophs are green algae, all plants, photosynthetic bacteria, etc.

(2) Heterotrophs or Consumers - Organisms that consume autotrophs or other heterotrophs since they cannot produce their own food. They absorb nutrition from other organic carbon sources such as plant or animal matter. The examples of heterotrophs are fungi, all animals, many protists and bacteria.

(3) Phototrophs - Organisms that capture photons from light and convert it to chemical energy to carry out different cellular processes.

  • Photoautotrophs (holophytic organisms) are autotrophs that carry out photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic compounds (glucose) using energy from sunlight. Plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria are examples.
  • Photoheterotrophs depend on sunlight for their energy and produce ATP through photophosphorylation. Their source of carbon is organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fatty acids, etc obtained from the environment and do not rely on carbon dioxide. Examples include green non-sulfur bacteria, purple non-sulfur bacteria, heliobacteria, etc.

(4) Chemotrophs - Organisms that obtain energy by breaking down or oxidation of organic or inorganic molecules such as ammonia,  carbohydrates, molecular hydrogen, sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, ferrous iron, etc through chemosynthesis.

  • Chemoautotrophs synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide using the energy derived from chemical reactions. Most of them are found in deep water environments that receive no sunlight. Cyanobacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, iron-oxidizing bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, etc are examples.
  • Chemoheterotroph uses inorganic or organic energy sources as they can not synthesize their own organic compounds. Chemolithoheterotroph uses inorganic energy sources (sulfur, ferrous iron, etc) and chemoorganoheterotroph uses organic energy sources (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, etc). Examples of chemoheterotrophs include most fungi and animals.

Why do humans<br> show variation?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

gugkugcoytci6r

Explanation:

Causes of Variation:

Causes of differences between individuals include independent assortment, the exchange of genes (crossing over and recombination) during reproduction (through meiosis) and various mutational events. There are at least three reasons why genetic variation exists between populations.

Behaviors such as stress, exercise, eating patterns, and tension ______ various aspects of the hormonal system.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Activates or suppresses

Explanation:

The hormonal system or the endocrine system involves chemical systems where feedback loops of hormones are released directly into the circulatory system by internal glands.

It involves the interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary glands and sex glands.

Release of hormones is dependent of signalling therefore behaviors such as stress, eating patterns and tension can activate or suppress various aspects of the hormonal system.
