8. True or False: There are some exceptions to the rule.... organisms such as a protist called a
ankoles [38]

There are some exceptions to the rule organisms such as a protist called a  euglena can be both heterotrophic and autotrophic. This is a true statement.

Explanation:

  • Euglena is a large genus of unicellular protists: they have both plant and animal characteristics
  • Photoautotrophs include protists that have chloroplasts, such as Spirogyra. Heterotrophs get their energy by consuming other organisms. Other protists can get their energy both from photosynthesis and from external energy sources
  • All live in water and move by means of a flag ellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most have chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants
  • Euglena is photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight i.e autotrophic, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms.
  • Most species of Euglena have photosynthesizing chloroplasts within the body of the cell, which enable them to feed by autotrophy, like plants. They can also take nourishment heterotrophically, like animals.

A 5.5 gg sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35%% of the mass of the substance. The rest is m
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. ((100 - 35)/100) times 5.5 grams = 3.575 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The sample of carbon and oxygen = 5.5g

where carbon makes 35% of the mass of the substances.

It implies that oxygen will make: (100 - 35)% = 65%

Suppose y be the mass of the oxygen;

Then:

y = \dfrac{(100-35)}{100} \times 5.5 \ g

y = \dfrac{(65)} {100} \times 5.5 \ g

y = 3.575 \ g

The mass of carbon = \dfrac{35}{100} \times 5.5 \ g

= 1.925 g
