Question

autotrophs

• autotrophs are
• an autotroph is
• plants, algae, some protists, & some bacteria are examples

2 types of autotrophs

• photoautotrophs

(photosynthesis)

• chemoautotrophs

(chemosynthesis)

consumers and heterotrophs

• heterotrophs are
• consumers eat other
• 3 types of consumers
• herbivores-
• carnivores-
• omnivores-
• one more type of consumer
• decomposers-

• examples:

food chains

• food chain -

food webs

• food web -

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food. Photoautotrophs use photosynthesis and chemoautotrophs use chemosynthesis. Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food and consumers eat other organisms. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat other animals, omnivores eat both plants and animals. Decomposers break down dead organisms. A food - chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. A food - web is a complex network of interconnected food - chains.

Answer:

Autotrophs are: Organisms that make their own food.
An Autotroph is: Self - feeding organism.
Photoautotrophs: Use light energy to make food via photosynthesis.
Chemoautotrophs: Use chemical energy to make food via chemosynthesis.
Heterotrophs are: Organisms that cannot make their own food.
Consumers eat other: Organisms.
Herbivores: Eat plants.
Carnivores: Eat other animals.
Omnivores: Eat both plants and animals.
Decomposers: Break down dead organisms.
Examples: Bacteria, fungi.
Food Chain: A linear sequence of organisms where nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
Food Web: A complex network of interconnected food - chains.
