Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?

Biology
1 answer:
nydimaria [60]2 years ago
4 0
Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.

Below are three different scenarios for comparison. For each scenario, decide if it represents greater or less entropy and great
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Entropy is characterized as a level of irregularity or disorder in a system. More the disorder more is the Entropy. The greatest entropy is accomplished when the system is in equilibrium.  

In a similar manner, stability is legitimately relative to entropy. Therefore, more entropy, more is the stability and the other way around.

<u>S.No      Scenarios                Entropy                  Stability </u>

A               Glucose                    Less                   Less

Primary succession occurs when a community develops ____________ while secondary succession occurs when one ________.
alexandr402 [8]

A. into a climax community; species replaces another

B. and replaces another; ecosystem becomes stable

C. on unoccupied ground; biological community replaces another

D. and then fails; niche changes

E. intraspecific competition; experiences interspecific competition

Answer:

C. on unoccupied ground; biological community replaces another

Explanation:

Primary succession  is a gradual change that occurs on bare rocks or areas that have no life existing on it before. It could take several years to be colonized by living things.  

On the other hand, secondary succession are changes that occur when one biological community replaces another as a result of factors such as wild fires, or take place in abandoned farm land. New species of organisms take over the area that has life existing on it already. Secondary succession occurs on areas or land that has been colonized initially before.

Cell bodies of sensory neurons may be located in ganglia lying outside the central nervous system. Cell bodies of sensory neuron
AlekseyPX

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Sensory neurons are the neurons present in the nerves which can convert the external stimuli into an electrical signal and can transmit the signals from the organs to the central nervous system.

The structure of sensory neuron in pseudounipolar that is at one end it has dendrites and another end transmits the signals to the CNS. The cell bodies  (nucleus) of these sensory neurons are located in the structures called ganglia located outside the CNS.

Thus, True is the correct answer.

Fruit flies have a diploid number of 8, and honeybees have a diploid number of 32. In which case will crossing over have greater
Yanka [14]

Answer:

            The correct option is A.

Explanation:

              As we know that genetic variation that result from crossing over depend on the number of genes and their alleles. When there are more genes in genome the chances of polymorphic loci will increase, which will result into more genetic variation during crossing over.

Forexample:

                    Drosophila melanogaster is a common fruit fly having diploid number of 8 chromosome composed of 122,653,977 base pairs, and about ~17,000 genes.  Honey bees have diploid number of 32 chromosomes composed of approximately 2360000 base pairs, and 10,000 genes.    

Conclusion:

                      As fruit fly genome contain more genes and polymorphic loci, so genetic variation is more likely to be greater in fruit fly.

Sperm cells swim through liquid. Explain how a sperm cell is adapted to reduce friction as it swims.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Long tail and narrow head.

Explanation:

A sperm cell is adapted to reduce friction as it swims by having long head, narrow tail and enzymes. These features of sperm provides ability to swim straight to the egg cell. Long tail helps the sperm cell to swim towards the egg cell, narrow head of sperm cell make the sperm cell for faster swimming towards the egg cell and enzymes present in the head of the sperm helps break through the egg cell membrane so we can say that the long tail and narrow head of sperm cells helps in faster swimming.
