Are Consumers able to do photosynthesis? Why or why not?

2 answers:

3 0

No. Photosynthesis is when a plant converts sunlight into food or glucose. Only producers are able to do this. Consumers have to consume food to have the energy to survive.

Hope this helped! Let me know if there is anything I need to clarify or explain more in depth

Answer:

No, consumers are not able to do photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants are called producers because they produce their own food. They get light and energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce their own food and this process of making food is called photosynthesis.

There are four types of consumers in ecology are :

herbivores,

carnivores,
omnivores, and
decomposers

The above mentioned categories includes Caterpillars, insects, grasshoppers, termites and hummingbirds are primary consumers because they only eat producers (plants) and they can not make their own food themselves.

Which characteristic property allows multicellular algae, like red, green, and brown algae, to make the maximum use of sunlight?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Red, green, and brown algae have accessory photosynthetic plastids containing different pigments than the chloroplasts.
It is known that chlorophyll absorbs red light and reflects green. That's why plants containing chlorophyll are green. At a depth of the sea where these algae live, there is no red light but different. Red, green, and brown algae have other pigments that can absorb that different light and which allow these algae to maximum use sunlight.

Most of the oxygen transported by the blood is___________.

Pie

Answer:

c. Bound to hemoglobin.

Explanation:

The oxygen is relatively insoluble in plasma. At normal atmospheric pressure, only 0,3% of oxygen dissolves. That why there are respiratory pigments that elevate almost 70 times the capacity to transport O₂ of blood. The most common respiratory pigments are hemoglobin (in all vertebrates and some invertebrates) and hemocyanin (in mollusks and arthropods).

Sam started his morning walk from the location indicated by the point below.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(-1,-3) on the coordinate grid.

Explanation:

The location from where Sam started his morning walk is 3 units to the left and 2 units up from the origin. This location is indicated by the point (-3,2).

He walked 5 units south and met his friend Joshua.

So, find the point that is 5 units to the south of point (-3,2). Distances north and south on the map represent a change in the y-coordinate. Moving 5 units to the south on the map from point (-3,2) places the new location at point (-3,-3).

Sam then walked 2 units east, where he met his friend, Ethan.

So, find the point that is 2 units to the east of point (-3,-3). Distances east and west on the map represent a change in the x-coordinate. Moving 2 units to the east on the map from point (-3,-3) places the new location at point (-1,-3).

So, Sam met Ethan at the location indicated by point (-1,-3) on the coordinate grid.
