Plants and animals differ from each other in many ways. Primarily, animals can move from place to place while plants cannot move as they are rooted to the soil. Thus, this is the key difference between plants and animals. Furthermore, plants are autotrophs while animals are heterotrophs. An...
lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.Autotrophscan produce their foods by themselves. However, heterotrophs obtain organic compounds produced by autotrophs through their diets. Through cellular respiration, organisms produce energy for their metabolic reactions. During the cellular...
nano- and microplankton. Samples were obtained by vacuum filtration of 250 μm pre-filtered water samples (100–500 ml) onto 0.2 μm 47 mm membrane filters (Supor-200, Pall Corporation, Port Washington, NY, USA). The filtration was performed the same day as the water collection and...
Some bacteria are able to photosynthesize. Most of the bacteria are heterotrophs.Cyanobacteria can photosynthesize. Hence they are autotrophs. Chlorophyll a Bacteria do not contain chlorophyll a. Bacteria contain bacteriochlorophylls.Cyanobacteria contain chlorophylls a. ...
autotrophs that make their own food and heterotrophs that depend on others to obtain food. Sometimes, an ecosystem also has organisms that live together in a relationship with each other such as parasitic, symbiotic, or mutualistic organisms. Therefore, fungi and lichens are very important ...
sexually by binary fission and sexual reproduction also occurs by genetic recombination. Bacteria occupy many environments such as soil, air, water, dust. They may occur at extreme environments such as volcanoes, deep-sea, alkaline or acid water. Bacteria are either photoautotrophs or heterotrophs...
