BIOL 3410 Lecture Notes - Lecture 26: Chemosynthesis

16. Organisms that can undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are called

decomposers c. autotrophs

heterotrophs d. omnivores

Explain please

True or False

Lipids are produced as a waste product during aerobic cellular respiration.

All autotrophs use photosynthesis to produce their food for survival.

Suppose the trophic efficiency between producers and herbivoresis 0.1, the tropic efficiency between herbivores and carnivores is0.15, and primary production is 1,200 units per day.

What is the secondary production of herbivores?

a). How do C4 and CAM photosynthesis affect overall plantproductivity? Which type of metabolism supports thehighest primary productivity?

b). In addition to C4 and CAM photosynthesis, describe 2 otheradaptations of plants to reduce water loss andphotorespiration.
