Autotrophs transform radiant energy into chemical energy, but heterotrophs can’t. XD
Annette [7]3 years ago

Answer: A. Autotrophs transform radiant energy into chemical energy, but heterotrophs can’t.

Explanation: Autotrophs are green plants which contain chlorophyll and thus can absorb energy from the sun. They synthesize food with the help of carbon dioxide and solar energy and turn it into glucose which contains chemical energy in its bonds and is used as food.

6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2

Heterotrophs do not contain chlorophyll, thus cannot absorb sunlight and thus cannot manufacture their own food. They depend on autotrophs for their food needs.

There are many traits for which it seems natural selection should favor an increase every generation, such as survival from birt
Tom [10]

Answer:

Natural selection has been studied since Charles Darwing first started his research.

Explanation:

<em>Basically natural selection changes the frequency of traits. Left themselves in large , freely interbreeding populations, the frequency of traits will remain the same from generation to generation. The traits are often heritable, in living organisms, many characteristics are inherited, or passed from parent to offspring. </em>

<em>The reasons why we mightt not see a response to directional selection on such a trait are:</em>

  1. <em>More offspring are produced than can survive.</em>
  2. <em> Organisms are capable of producing  more offspring than their environments can support.  </em>
  3. <em>Offspring vary in their heritable  traits. </em>
