Explain why autotroph is used to describe producers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.

How does a tree grow? Explain in detail

Answers

Answer:

Trees grow in height as a result of meristems that are located at their branch tips. These meristems are called apical meristems. ... The vascular cambium produces new xylem and phloem each year and as a result, the trunk, branches, and roots continue to increase in diameter.

Answer:

in botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there are some three trillion mature trees in the world.

A body is made of matter and matter is made of very small particles called molecules, which are constantly moving.

The molecules in a cold body move little but in a hot body they move more because we have provided heat.

When a hot body comes into contact with a cold body these things happen:
1) the hot body cools down (becomes cold).
2) the cold body heats up (gets hot).
3) both bodies reach the same temperature.

In summary, the heat passes from the hottest body to the coldest body until thermal balance is reached (the two bodies reach the same temperature).

why do orangutans need so much space?

Answers

Answer:

Orangutans are the heaviest tree-dwelling animal

They spend most of their lives swinging through the canopies and need vast stretches of forest to find enough food and mates. Deforestation and hunting are the biggest threats to orangutans.orangutans need so much space because orangutans live in only a few places, and because they are so dependent upon trees, they are particularly susceptible to logging in these areas.Orangutans have large home ranges, which may overlap. Each adult female usually lives in a stable home range of about 3.5 square miles (9 square kilometers). An adult male's territory may be up to 15 square miles (39 square kilometers).

Describe the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic, unicellular and multicellular, autotrophic and heterotrophic, and sexual and asexual reproduction, that classify organisms into the currently recognized kingdoms.
(Do NOT make a list. Write it as a paragraph!)

Answers

Answer:

Prokaryotes are those organisms which lack true nucleus and membrane bounded organelles while eukaryotes have true membrane bound nucleus as well as membrane bound organelles.

Unicellualr organisms composed of only one cell while multicellular organisms consists of large number of cells.

Heterotrophic organisms get their food from other organisms while autotrophic organisms synthesize their own food b with the help of photosynthesis.

sexual reproduction involves meiosis for production of gametes then fertilization and dvelopment while in asexual reproduction cells simply divide by mitosis and develops a new organism.

these ar the basic characteristics used for classifcation. plants are autotrphic multicellular sexually or asexually reproducing organisms, while animals are hetertrophic, multicellular and can also reproduce sexually as well as asexually.

Beak Length in Finches

In a certain population of finches, a single gene controls beak length. There are two possible alleles: S, which leads to a short beak, and s, which leads to a long beak. Individuals with the genotype SS will have a short beak, individuals with the genotype ss will have a long beak, and individuals with the genotype Ss will have a medium-length beak. Scientists measure that in this population of 1,128 total birds, 321 birds have short beaks, 562 have medium-length beaks, and 245 have long beaks.
