How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs?

Biology
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

heterotrophs survive through respiration, using oxygen and an energy source (carbohydrates, fats or protein) to produce ATP, which powers cells. They depend on other organisms for food and oxygen. Photosynthesis benefits heterotrophs in several different ways. First, "photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide (a waste product of respiration) and produces oxygen (necessary for respiration)." Heterotrophs therefore depend on photosynthesis as a source of oxygen. In addition, "photosynthesis sustains the organisms that heterotrophs consume in order to stay alive. Even if a heterotroph is strictly carnivorous and does not eat plants, it must eat animals that eat plants to survive."

A wilted flower placed in a vase of water for several hours became stiff and stood erect. when it was placed in a salt solution,
kherson [118]
The cell surface membranes of cells of flower, though semi-permeable, allows water to pass through cell via aqua proteins embedded in the membrane.
This is true since water goes from inside of cell to the extracellular environment when water potential inside the cell is higher than water potential outside the cell via process of osmosis (water goes from an area of high water potential down a concentration gradient to an area of low water potential). Cells in the flower became plasmolysed (cell surface membranes tear away from the cell walls) as the volume of water in cell decreases.

Hope this helps! :)

The Tasmanian tiger, the largest known carnivorous marsupial, was wiped out of the wild due to constant hunting:
Darya [45]

The statement is - True.

The Tasmanian tiger went extinct because of the extensive hunting by the new settlers. People were killing the Tasmanian tiger because they thought that it is the animal responsible for the killing of the livestock, but at the end it turned out that they made a huge mistake and that actually the feral dogs and the dingo were the ones responsible for that. The last Tasmanian tiger was a female and died in captivity under very bad conditions.

Even though people use the term Tasmanian tiger (because of the stripes) and Tasmanian wolf (because of the dog-like face), it is an animal that is not related with neither the cats nor the dogs, but instead it is a marsupial, the biggest marsupial carnivore in the recent history, and its real name is Thylacine.

What are food enzymes?
Llana [10]

there aren't many enzymes in food, mainly in fruits, the enzymes in friuts are very similar to ptylin found in the mouth that help break down sugar, they do not need to be ingested before they activate, a proof of this is the apple test, buy an apple, take a bite and leave it without covering it for a few minutes, you'll notice that the bitten part starts turning yellowish brown because the enzymes in the apple are already breaking it down.  

In summary, they do not need to be ingested before activation, and the major characteristic of an enzyme is that they do not change after they react with (breakdown) food, so they are in the same form before and after they finish breaking down the food.
