C) Commensalism.

Explanation:

Commensalism, is a relationship between individuals of two species in which one species is benefited or obtains food from the other without either harming or benefiting the latter.

An example of commensalism is a pilot fish (Naucrates ductor) swimming alongside a whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus).

A commensal species benefits from another species by getting locomotion, shelter, food, or support from the host species, which (for the most part) neither benefits nor is harmed.

In your own words Describe how autotrophs and heterotrophs obtain energy. please this answer must be at least 150 words any one
blsea [12.9K]

The autotrophs are the primary producer in the food chain and they are the ones who initiate the food chain. They produce food by using sunlight or sometimes chemical energy or reactions. They primarily use carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to form sugars or carbohydrates which become their energy source. They use the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to generate food. Examples of autotrophs are green plants, green algae, bacteria.

Heterotrophs cannot make their food via sunlight or other inorganic sources and hence are dependent on the autotrophs or other animals. The heterotrophs have been ranked as secondary and tertiary consumers and cannot be producers.  They consume the organic products made by autotrophs to obtain energy for various metabolic and biological activities. The heterotrophs can be herbivore, carnivore, fungi, parasitic plants.

Some are photo-hetrotrophs,  who use light as energy but cannot use carbon  dioxide as the carbon source since they cannot fix the carbon like autotrophs.

Which statement describes P wave?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

They travel through liquids.

Explanation:

P waves are a type of seismic waves and they travel through solid, liquid and gas. They are called P waves because they are faster than the S waves and other types of seismic waves.

The p waves being the fastest is why it was named primary (p waves) while the S waves are slower and are referred to as secondary (s waves). These waves don’t start as surface waves but later results in it.
