How are photoautotrophs and photoheterotrophs?
Photoautotrophs: Bacteria that use sunlight as their energy source and carbon dioxide (as part of photosynthesis) as their carbon source. These bacteria thus obtain all their nourishment through photosynthesis Photoheterotrophs: Bacteria that use sunlight as their energy source and organic compounds from the environment as their carbon source.
What is responsible for high levels of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere a. Photoautotrophs b. photoheterotrophs c.chemoautotrophs d. chemoheterotrophs that perform decomposition e.parasitic chemoheter..?
B.
What is the main pigment of photoautotrophs?
Photoautotrophs are photosynthetic organisms.They mainly have chlorophyll.
What is the difference between chemotrophs and chemolithotrophs?
The difference is the way they obtain energy. Chemotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments. These molecules can be organic (chemoorganotrophs) or inorganic (chemolithotrophs). Photoheterotrophs are heterotrophic organisms that use light for energy, but cannot use carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source.
Are prokaryotes autotrophs?
They can be, Photoautorophs, Photoheterotrophs, Chemoautotrophs or Chemoheterotrophs
Are most bacteria photoautotrophs?
No. They are heterotrophs just as you are. They are not usually green as photoautotrophs. They would not be close to the air to get sunlight.
What food making process is used by photoautotrophs?
Photoautotrophs use sunlight to make their food also called photosythesis
What reactants do photoautotrophs need for photosynthesis?
Photoautotrophs need water, carbon dioxide, and light energy in order to power photosynthesis.
What cells are found chloroplast?
They are in eukariyotes.They are in photoautotrophs.
What carries on photosynthesis?
Photoautotrophs carry out photosynthesis.
How do organisms make their own food?
Photoautotrophs
Are fungi photoautotrophs?
False, chemoheterotrophs
