Answer:

2. synthesize its own food

Explanation:

Based on how they obtain their nutrition, living organisms has been classified to be either producers, consumers, or decomposers. Producers are organisms capable of synthesizing their own food using light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis).

Consumers, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food and hence, rely on other organisms to obtain their energy source. Consumers feed on other organisms to obtain energy. In this question, a fruit fly is classified as a CONSUMER because it cannot synthesize its own food.

*What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? What is the reverse of this chemical process called?
mestny [16]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

There is one chemical process in biochemistry that has a reversible process. If you remember glycolysis, it actually has a reversible process. This reversible process is called gluconeogenesis. These two processes are reversible in response to glucose concentration in our bodies. When our bodies need energy, glucose breaks down into pyruvate through glycolysis. When our bodies need glucose for storage, pyruvate turns back into glucose through gluconeogenesis. Here are the processes:
