Document Summary

Autotrophs use inorganic sources of both carbon and energy: photosynthetic: use co2 as a source of carbon and solar radiation in form of light. Contains plants, photosynthetic protists, photosynthetic bacteria: chemosynthetic: use inorganic molecules as a source of carbon and energy. Heterotrophs use organic molecules both as a source of carbon and energy and include bacteria, fungi, protists, animals and parasitic plants. Cells with no membrane bound nucleus or organelles. Include both: bacteria and archaea: archaea are spread in the biosphere particularly in oceans. New type of energy production from light: rhodopsin: rhodopsin: light absorbing pigments in animal eyes, pump protons in atp synthesis to produce energy, widespread throughout oceans adapted to variations in light quality. Infrared radiation is very important for temperature regulation. Organisms alter behavior to increase or decrease the absorption and retention of heat energy allows them to modify body temperature. Uv light breaks covalent bonds of organic molecules.
