Answer:
- Autotrophs are usually defined as those that can prepare their own food by carrying out the process of photosynthesis, but heterotrophs cannot prepare their own food and are directly dependent on the autotrophs for food. Examples of autotrophs are plants and trees, and examples of heterotrophs are animals and human beings.
- Autotrophs are the lowest organisms in the trophic level, where they produce the food for the consumers (heterotrophs). On the other hand, the heterotrophs lie above the autotrophs and when they consume their food, they obtain only 10% of the energy, and the remaining energy is released into the environment.
- Autotrophs can make organic substances by the use of inorganic molecules, but heterotrophs cannot make these substances. They are only dependent on the molecules prepared by these autotrophs.
Thus, these are three of the facts regarding autotrophs and heterotrophs existing on earth that are true.
Answer:
first question:The nucleus is particularly important among eukaryotic organelles because it is the location of a cell's DNA. Two other critical organelles are mitochondria and chloroplasts, which play important roles in energy conversion and are thought to have their evolutionary origins as simple single-celled organisms
:second question: The DNA in prokaryotes is contained in a central area of the cell called the nucleoid, which is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
Answer:
<em>Most polymers are long chains of repeating, identical, carbon-containing molecules called monomers.</em>
Explanation:
Lipids are the exception because they have an additional, nonidentical molecule attached to each monomer chain. The additional molecule varies with the type of lipid.
Proteins are made of polypeptides, the monomer is an amino acid
Nucleic acid’s polymers are usually just referred to as RNA or DNA, depending on the variety of nucleic acids present.
Answer:
Euglena is a large family of unicellular protists: they have both animal and plant characteristics. All of them survive in water, and move by the help of a flagellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most of them hav chloroplasts, which r the characteristic of plants.
Explanation:
The diagram for evolution of plants in the 4 stages is attached below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The plants evolution has 4 main periods:
<u>A. 1st Period of Plant Evolution
</u>
About 420 million years ago, plants evolved from algae. Formation of cuticle was the first terrestrial adaption.
<u>B. 2nd Period of Plant Evolution
</u>
Abut 400 million years ago, the diversification of vascular plants came into being. The early vascular plants lacked seeds.
<u>C. 3rd Period of Plant Evolution
</u>
This was around 360 million years ago, that the seed evolved. The plants had seeds, but they did not have any covering, so they were called naked seeds. These plants were gymnosperms.
<u>
D. 4th Period of Plant Evolution
</u>
This was the evolution of flowering plants, happened around 130 million years ago (during early Cretaceous period). The flowering plants were called angiosperms.
