Hello! Autotrophs make their own food (plants) and heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy (consumers.) Autotrophs use the process of photosynthesis to produce the oxygen as one of its products. Heterotrophs use the oxygen produced by the autotrophs to perform cellular respiration, which releases carbon dioxide that plants use; it's a balanced cycle. Hope this helps!

Plants are referred to as autotrophs. Auto– means "self," and in this case, –troph means "feeding." Autotrophs are those organisms that make their own food. All plants are autotrophs, and so are algae and many bacteria. Organisms that are unable to produce glucose through photosynthesis are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophs obtain organic food molecules for energy and nutrition by eating other organisms or by eating and absorbing by-products of other organisms.

Pus in a body cavity, especially the pleural cavity is called:
rusak2 [61]
The pleural cavity is the thin fluid-filled space between the two pulmonary pleurae (known as visceral and parietal) of each lung. A pleura is a serous membrane which folds back onto itself to form a two-layered membranouspleural sac. The outer pleura (parietal pleura) is attached to the chest wall, but is separated from it by the endothoracic fascia. The inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and adjoining structures, including blood vessels, bronchi and nerves. The pleural cavity can be viewed as a potential space because the two pleurae adhere to each other (through the thin film of serous liquid) under all normal conditions.

In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through ?A) an effect
Tasya [4]

Answer:

C) an interneuron

Explanation:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through an interneuron because an interneuron enables communications (i.e a pathway for information passage) between a sensory neuron and motor neuron. They play vital roles in reflex actions, neuronal oscillations, neurogenesis in an adult mammalian vertebrate brain.
