Autotroph

If you were a plant how would you live? Would you be a heterotrophs or autotrophs, either consuming other organisms or making your own? How could you make your own food if you were a plant, not by ordering at a fast food restaurant but instead something more genetic, like Photosynthesis.     Photosynthesis is when plants use its chloroplast to make Glucose(Sugar) or Oxygen. This process takes water, sunlight, and carbon. The formula for Photosynthesis is 6CO2+H2O+Sun = C6H12O6+6O2 or in word terms

the higher the level the less energy and less organisms. The first level is made up of autotrophs, made up of plants and only organisms that create their own energy and nutrients via sunlight. The second level is made up of 1st order heterotrophs, herbivores only as they feed off of the autotrophs only. The next level is made of 2nd order heterotrophs, most commonly they are omnivores, feeding off of both autotrophs and 1st order heterotrophs. The next are 3rd order heterotrophs, most commonly carnivores

as DNA barcoding you see the variety of species in the environment and the gene pool. Specific Aim: The Peconic River has been an extraordinary habitat for various organisms over the years. Through the process of sequencing the different autotrophs we have, we expect to: find species which will add to the diversity in the Peconic River identify if a population has occurred based upon the barcoding information from our

Survival of organisms depends on adaptive behavior and species interactions. Taxis is less or more automatic movement towards or away from a stimulus or direct movement. An example of taxis is when a plant is put by a windowsill. The plant grows towards the light. Another example is when stream fish automatically swim upward in the upstream direction. This example is considered positive taxis. This type of taxis allows the fish to swim in the direction of food and allows them to not be swept away

photosynthesis. Plants that carry out photosynthesis also carry out cellular respiration. Heterotrophs that can’t produce their own sugar also can carry out cellular respiration. They obtain glucose by eating autotrophs, eating what autotrophs made, or other organisms that consumed autotrophs. From there, it breaks down the glucose. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration is a cycle because it reuses and rebuilds the

to best practice has been helpful to both lectures and students alike. (UNESCO, 2016). 2. Introduction An ecosystem is a community that includes non-biological (abiotic) and ecological elements (biotic/living elements) which must at least have an autotroph, a decomposer, a liquid medium (air, water or both), a source and deterioration of energy and chemical cycles. (Botkin, 2014 p G-4). An ecosystem is the functioning of organisms by interactions with the chemical and physical environment and

An ecosystem is a community of all organisms in a given area, and the physical environment which they interact with. On the land there are terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, grasslands or rain forests; and in the water there are freshwater and marine ecosystems such as lakes and, say, coral reef. The rain forest is an energetic ecosystem. This means that the rain forest vegetation grows quickly and when dead, decomposes extremely quickly. Rain forest biome is very complex. It includes a myriad

the Sahel region from services: agriculture, forage, energy, raw materials, etc. Gradually over time the carbon build up in the atmosphere has caused increased water vapor instead of it being recycled into rainwater. Without rain water plants, or autotrophs, cannot perform adequate photosynthesis and carbon fixation, thus carbon build up continues to occur further trapping carbon in the atmosphere and increasing global climate. Stefan Kröpelin, a German archaeologist, studied the vast reaches of the

forms the basis for efficient autotrophic production. The heterotrophs Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae have so far been ideal. However, these organisms will have to be transformed to full autotrophs using sophisticated and complex engineering methods. The use of mixotrophy where autotrophs systems are incorporated into heterotrophs seems to give better outcomes. The natural photoautotrophic microorganism is categorized into oxygenic and anoxygenic groups. Oxygenic photoautotrophs such

energy it also is classified as non-living. If a virus has no host then it has no ability to reproduce or to live. Furthermore a virus should not be considered a living organism because it lacks these traits. A virus is neither an autotroph nor heterotroph. An autotroph makes its energy by producing food typically seen in plants. A
