What defines autotrophs (and distinguishes them from heterotrophs)? Use organic molecules in energy metabolism Use carbon dioxide in energy metabolism Use organic molecules in food to biosynthesize organic molecules Use carbon dioxide to biosynthesize organic molecules
Autotrophs and heterotrophs are similar in that Group of answer choices both turn inorganic molecules like CO2 into organic molecules. they both convert sunlight to energy for cellular work. both do cellular respiration. Autotrophs are also known as Group of answer choices there isn't enough information in the question to answer. consumers. producers. Which of the following stages of cellular respiration have NADH, ATP and pyruvic acid as its end products? Group of answer choices citric acid cycle electron transport chain glycolysis In the citric acid cycle of cellular respiration, Group of answer choices most of the ATP of cellular respiration is produced. glucose is added directly to an acceptor molecule in the citric acid cycle. NADH and FADH2 give up their electrons and hydrogen into the cycle, and leave the cycle as NAD+ and FAD. A carbon atom called acetic acid enters the cycle and 2 CO2 molecules leave the cycle.…
The connection between producers and consumers is that only: A) heterotrophs can perform photosynthesis to produce energy for all life B) autotrophs can use sun energy to u to produce energy for all organisms C) producers use cellular respiration to produce energy for all life D) heterotrophs can perform cellular respiration producing oxygen for all organisms
The Four Defined major nutritional categories of life are Photoautotroph, photochemotroph, chemoautotroph and chemoheterotroph. Which statement is NOT true? ‘Chemo’ refers to the use of chemical energy, so breaking bonds ‘Auto’ means they make their own carbon dioxide ‘Photo’ refers to the use of light to obtain energy ‘Hetero’ means that they get carbon dioxide from a premade source of carbon
Plants are classified as because they use for their carbon source. O A) autotrophs; CO2 B) autotrophs; glucose C) heterotrophs; CO2 D) phototrophs; CO2 E) heterotrophs; glucose
List and define four different terms that describe an organism’s sources of carbon and energy.
We have seen that energy is essential for life on earth. All organisms need energy to maintain their cellular processes. There are two basic ways of generating energy de novo, at the base of food webs. Describe the two primary ways that autotrophic organisms generate energy, including the original source of energy and the primary organisms that carry out each process.

Energy is a limited resource for living organisms. What is the typical allocation of assimilated energy for a given species? The vast majority of the energy is used for cellular respiration. Most of the energy is used for growth. The vast majority of the energy is used for reproduction. Both growth and reproduction get as much energy as is needed and any leftover energy is used for cellular respiration.
