Autotrophs obtain energy by the process of photosynthesis. Any living organism need energy to survive and autotrophs are no different. Two types of autotrophs are present and they are Photoautotrophs and Chemoautotrophs. The Photoautotrophs rely on the energy produced during the process of photosynthesis and the Chemoautotrophs get their energy from most of the inorganic substances. Phtoautotrophs actually get their energy from the sunlight and then convert it into reusable form. In case of Chemoautotrophs ammonia is an important source of energy for them.

Well, autotrophs are living things that produce their own food like plants. While heterotrophs get their food from other sources like the autotrophs e.g man
   Autotrophs obtain their food from a process called photosynthesis. Energy is gotten from the sun, which helps them to manufacture their food. Well, according to the word photosynthesis, photo means light, and synthesis means combining or putting together. We all know that plants need light, water, air and nutrients to survive. This light needed is gotten through the process of photosynthesis. Energy is gotten from the light of the sun. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves. It is also responsible for the green color. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the air are used to form food. Chlorophyll and some other pigments absorb energy from sunlight. All these can be proven by the reaction between water and carbon dioxide. They produce glucose and oxygen. Glucose is the food;
carbon dioxide + water→glucose+ oxygen
  This reaction takes place in the presence of sunlight. Hope i helped.

Answer:

A. Pathogen- 4

B. aerobic- 7

C. hypothesis- 6

D. herbivores- 2

E. one another differentiation -5

F. homeostasis- 1

G. metabolism- 3

Explanation:

A. Pathogen- a pathogen is a living organism which can feed on other organism and can utilise their cellular components for their own survival. This affects the host cell and they get infected and the pathogen thus causes disease.

B. Aerobic- The oxygen appeared on Earth later compared to the time life originated on earth. Therefore some organism living today can use oxygen for survival and some not. The organism which utilises oxygen for their survival is known as aerobic microorganisms.

C. Hypothesis- The hypothesis is a predicted statement formulated based on the study related to the natural event which can explain the natural event.

D. Herbivores- The organism which cannot make food for themselves on their own but rely on another organism, especially the plants, are known as the herbivores.

E. Differentiation- Differentiation is the process which forms a variety of cells from a single cell and can perform different functions.

F. Homeostasis- is the mechanism which can maintain the internal conditions of the organisms.

G. Metabolism- refers to the chemical reactions which can help perform the normal functioning of the organism.

Experiment B - How is tooth length influenced by natural selection?
Alex17521 [72]
Tooth length is influenced by natural selection
when you have healthy teeth If you lose one
tooth chances are your other tooth will be
crooked until that tooth grows back in, Your
teeth all help each other keep each other strait.
But if you are not taking care of your teeth than
your teeth will not be strong enough to grow

vivado [14]

Explanation:

In nature, organic compounds may be large chains of monomers form biological macromolecules which carry out many essential functions in the body. These can include nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning they're ringed or long-chain Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P); they are found in essential organic biomolecules include, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates.

Proteins are structural support molecules comprised of long chains of monomers called amino acids, joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units that are arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and are incorporated into the body’s cells to make up organs muscles signal molecules and an alternative energy source.  Basic makeup: C, H, O, N, S; polar C, O double bonds and N-H bonding .

An image showing a dipeptide, is shown below...
