Answer:

Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as yourself and other living things. The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life.

What is the difference between a photoheterotroph and chemoheterotroph, and what are examples of these?
RoseWind [281]
<span>When classifying organisms like this, you are looking for two main descriptors of their lifestyle: how they get their energy and how they get their carbon. A phototroph is an organism that acquires its energy through harvesting photons. A chemotroph harvests energy from chemical bonds.

The term heterotroph is used to describe organisms that acquire carbon from organic substances (namely from other organisms). An autotroph is an organism that has the ability to fix atmospheric carbon CO2 into an organic form.

When you combine these terms, you get a word that describes how an organism harvests energy and carbon. So, a chemoheterotroph is an organism that acquires energy from chemical bonds, and uses acquires organic carbon from an external source (usually, in this case, the energy and carbon come from the same source, e.g., glucose). A photoheterotroph is an organism that gains energy from photons but gains carbon from an external organic source.

Most bacteria, fungi, and animals can easily be described as a chemoheterotroph. A specific bacteria would be Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Photoheterotrophs would only be found in the prokaryote domains. An example would be Heliobacter. Just to note, there are very few genera of photoheterotrophs. Remember, they gain most of their energy from light (photons), and their carbon from an external organic source (i.e., they do not fix carbon).

</span><span>Basically, photoheterotrophs get energy from light and chemoheterotrophs get energy from breaking chemical bonds.

Theo plays basketball for his high school team. He is concerned that he is not consuming enough calories to support his activity
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. weight loss

Explanation:

Calorie is considered a unit of energy and athletes like basketball players require more calories than common people. Calories are present in our food and every food provide a different amount of calories to us.

To gain weight people require to consume more calories than they burn and to reduce weight people must burn more calories than they consume. So losing weight by theo shows that theo is not taking enough calories to support his activity.  

Therefore theo should improve the calorie intake up to that level where he can maintain his body weight. Therefore the correct answer is B.
