Define the general difference between an autotroph and a heterotroph

Biology
2 answers:
Klio2033 [76]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

If we break down the word autotroph, auto means “self” and troph means "feeding" or nourishment. However, when we break the word heterotroph, we get hetero- meaning other, and troph meaning feeders.

This is the critical difference between these two groups. Autotrophs synthesize or make their own food whereas, heterotrophs cannot make their own food thus have to rely on others by eating or absorbing others. For example, plants are autotrophs because they can make their own food using photosynthesis, whereas, humans are heterotrophs because we have to eat others to survive.

What are the four states of matter and how might we see them in a crime scene
rodikova [14]
Hi! I'm assuming you know the four states of matter- solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Putting them into a crime scene, however, is tricky.

Depending on which type of crime scene it is, there will be different types of states of matter in each, or possibly multiple.

Liquid can be seen as blood if it was a murder. Solid can be seen in that same crime scene if the murderer by chance left his knife, gun, or solid device they used to commit the murder. In other cases, gas can be seen used to kill someone because of it's toxicity. Plasma is a hard one, though, but can be seen in blood as well, because our blood is made up of plasma and other materials.

Hoping I helped, and I'd love to receive brainliest answer! :)

3. How are chloroplast like solar panels
vichka [17]

Answer:

Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.
