Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?

1 answer:

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.

Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the _____. when these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of n

Butoxors [25]

Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the axon. When these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.
The axon is part of the neuron (nerve cell that carries messages), as well as dendrite. Axons pass the nerve impulses on to other cells, while dendrite receive nerve impulses from other cells. The place where the axon of one neuron meets the dendrite of another is called a synapse.

Match each field of study to the correct piece of evidence. Tiles molecular biology comparative anatomy developmental biology Pa

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Molecular Biology
This field of study deals with everything related to macromolecules, thus, what you will need for molecular biology would be something you could get proteins and nucleic acids from. Among the choices, the DNA of a pig and a calf would be the most helpful.

Comparative Anatomy
Comparative anatomy is a field of study that focuses on any similarities or differences between the anatomy or structure of different animals or species in general. Among the options, having the limb structure of a pig and a calf would allow you to practice the field since you have a structure to compare.

Developmental Biology
In this field, your concern would be how species grow and develop. For you to properly observe the growth and development, you must have the embryo of a pig and a calf. Therefore, among the options, this is the correct piece of evidence for this field.

IN SUMMARY:
Molecular Biology - Both DNA of a pig and a calf
Comparative Anatomy - Both limb structure of a pig and a calf
Developmental Biology - Embryo of a pig and a calf

Maggie's Plant Experiment In this exercise you will read the following scenario and identify the parts of the scientific method

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Please find the identified steps of the scientific method below

Explanation:

A scientific method is a series of steps that aims at solving a problem. The steps in a scientific method include:

1. Making observation: In this experiment, Maggie observed when she read that some plants grow better if the soil is acidic. This is her observation that led to the scientific question: Do plants grow better in an acidic soil?

2. Formulating hypothesis: Hypothesis is a testable explanation to a problem. In this experiment, Maggie's hypothesis is; IF acid is added to the soil, THEN plants will grow better

3. Test hypothesis: the hypothesis is tested by conducting an experiment. In this case, Maggie places two geranium plants of the same size in two pots. Then she added a tablespoon of vinegar to one of the pots and allows the other grow normally without acid. The independent variable in this experiment is the vinegar added while the dependent variable is the height of the plants. The plant group with the vinegar is the experimental group while the plant group without vinegar is the control group. The constants of this experiment are same sunlight, same amount of water, same location etc.

4. Analyse data: The growth of the control and experimental plants were measured every week for five weeks by measuring their heights. The height (cm) of the plants with vinegar for the five weeks as as follows: 10.0, 12.4, 14.8, 18.0, 21.4 while the height in cm for the plants without vinegar for the five weeks is as follows: 10.0, 11.5, 13.0, 15.7, 17.8.

5. Conclusion: Based on the result, the plants exposed to vinegar grew better each week except week 1, which is the week they started. Hence, the hypothesis of this experiment will be ACCEPTED because the experiment proves it.
