The autotrophs are the primary producer in the food chain and they are the ones who initiate the food chain. They produce food by using sunlight or sometimes chemical energy or reactions. They primarily use carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to form sugars or carbohydrates which become their energy source. They use the process of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to generate food. Examples of autotrophs are green plants, green algae, bacteria.
Heterotrophs cannot make their food via sunlight or other inorganic sources and hence are dependent on the autotrophs or other animals. The heterotrophs have been ranked as secondary and tertiary consumers and cannot be producers. They consume the organic products made by autotrophs to obtain energy for various metabolic and biological activities. The heterotrophs can be herbivore, carnivore, fungi, parasitic plants.
Some are photo-hetrotrophs, who use light as energy but cannot use carbon dioxide as the carbon source since they cannot fix the carbon like autotrophs.
Active deffusion.. this way the water is retained and the unnecessary salts ions are expelled out.
Answer:
The body has two lines of natural defense to protect against infection. The first are physical barriers, such as the skin, body secretions and mucous membranes. The second line of defense is the immune system. Specialized immune cells coordinate and execute attacks to kill germs that make it past the body's physical barriers.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
There are three stop codon
TAA, TAG, TGA.
Out of 64 available codons, 3 are stop codon thus the remaining are non-stop codon.
So the probability of choosing a non stop codon is
Let us suppose the number of trials are "x" then the probability of choosing a non stop codon is
Probability of choosing a stop codon is equal to
probability of choosing a non stop codon
Answer:
three to six months
Explanation:
According to BBC Science Focus, biodegradable plastics take only three to six months to fully decompose, far quicker than traditional plastic that can take hundreds of years.
