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.

Hello. This question is incomplete. It is important that you always provide all the information so that your question can be answered the way you deserve.

The full question is:

"Which of the following has the element correctly matched with its description?

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine and contains Peyer's patches.

The bile moves upward and backward and pushes the bolus

The bones attaches the liver to the anterior abdominal wall

Tongue toxins prevent water absorption in the large intestine"

Answer:

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine and contains Peyer's patches.

Explanation:

It is true that the duodenum is the first section of the small intestine where Peyer's patches are located. The duodenum is the place where most of the entire digestive process occurs, in addition, it allows food to mix with bile and digestive juices.

Peyer's patches play an important role in immunological surveillance during digestive processes. This is because it allows the destruction of possible pathogens associated with food, or that interfere with digestion in some way.

Paneth cells ________. A. are absorptive cells in the small intestine B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria C. are located next
dedylja [7]

Answer:  B. secrete enzymes that kill bacteria

Explanation:

Paneth cells, so-called because they were first described by Dr. Josef Paneth in 1888, are pyramidal cells, with the nucleus in the basal position, and with large granules in the apical position. Its first isolated specific product was the lysozyme, a bactericidal substance, by Alexander Flemming. These cells play an important role in innate immunity in the small intestine, producing a wide diversity of antimicrobial peptides and enzymes such as lysozyme itself, cryptidines, defensins and a lectin with bactericidal properties.
