EVPP 108 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Chemical Equation, Phytoremediation, Cellular Respiration
Document Summary
They cannot synthesize organic carbon-based compounds from inorganic sources in the environment like an autotroph can. Heterotrophs are known as consumers in the food chain. They can feed on autotrophs, heterotrophs, or sometimes their own waste products. More simply, a heterotroph might eat plants or another animal to get necessary carbon to sustain its own life: producer: an organism that makes its own food. Spring 2016: consumer: organisms that obtain food by eating other organisms. List the type(s) of cells that have chloroplasts (plants vs. animals). List the type(s) of cells that have mitochondria (plants vs. animals). List the reactants (in words) of photosynthesis. List the products (in words) of photosynthesis. : any herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore are heterotrophic. Also, most bacteria and every animal and fungi is heterotrophic. Humans, bears, fish, deer, rabbits, eagle, mice, grasshoppers, beavers, squirrels, lion, tiger, penguin, hawk, etc. List the reactants (in words) of cellular respiration. List the products (in words) of cellular respiration.
