Advances in modern science have had great impacts on our ability to understand how matter and energy cycle throughout systems. The cycling throughout networks can be explained by the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy‚ which states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ only changed. This cycle applies to many things‚ such as energy cycling through a food web‚ carbon traveling through the biosphere in the carbon cycle‚ and the movement of energy and materials that are used during

they live off nutrients of other species by eating. Most plants have autotrophic cells‚ which allow them to generate their own food with photosynthesis. 4) Explain the following statement: ‘All living things depend on plants’. As animals are heterotrophs‚ they need to eat other species to survive. If mammals only depended on other mammals‚ there would be no animal with nutrients. Only plants have self-feeding systems which is similar to ‘free food’ to the animals. 5) Write out the word equation

All animals‚ plants‚ and fungi are included. Since Rufous hummingbird is a type of animal‚ it is included. Kingdom: Animalia Kingdom Animalia is the kingdom that contains all animals. All members of Animalia are multi-cellular‚ eukaryotic and heterotrophs‚ which mean they rely on other organisms for nourishment; also their cells lack cell wall. The bodies of animals are of cells organized into tissues‚ each tissue specialized to some degree to perform specific functions. (Myers‚ 2001) Phylum:

specialised cells within plants and many algae‚ when sunlight is present‚ chlorophyll combines it with water and carbon dioxide and creates energy through photosynthesis‚ a bi-product of which is oxygen. Organism that can photosynthesise are called autotrophs or “self-feeders”. Chlorophyll in leaves enables plants to trap light energy; it traps sunlight energy for the plants and begins the process of photosynthesis. It gives plants the greenish colour that mo st plants contain. It also helps to make

Plant-like Protists (Euglenophytes‚ Chrysophytes‚Dinoflagellates) ANIMAL-LIKE PROTISTS Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals. All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise‚ all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food. Unlike‚ animals‚ however‚ animal-like protists are all unicellular. SUB-GROUPS: * Mastigophorans - Protists with flagella;

the lake. One vertebrate predator we found only at the river site and none at the lake was a tiny frog. These organisms found in both ecosystems are divided into producers and consumers. The first step in the chain invovles the producers‚ or autotrophs like the phytoplankton. These producers convert sunlight into organic compounds through photosynthesis. The herbivorous consumers such as the beetle larvae (invertebrate grazers) feed on the algae and will be later consumed by

Communication‚ Homeostasis & Energy Communication & Homeostasis Outline the need for communication systems within multicellular organisms‚ with reference to the need to respond to changes in the internal and external environment and to co-ordinate the activities of different organs. Organisms need to respond to external stimuli‚ e.g. temperature‚ oxygen concentration and levels of sunlight. These may be over time‚ e.g. winter fur to summer fur‚ or quickly‚ e.g. changing size of pupils. Internal

ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food web‚ there are the producers and the consumers. The producers produce their food by the sun; they are autotrophs. This is one of the main ways energy is introduced into the ecosystem from the sun to the organisms. Herbivores depend on these producers for their food and energy. Carnivores depend on the herbivores for their food and energy‚ and omnivores depend

Lecturer Name: Dr. Faruk Sarkinfada Task 1: Describe the different classes of bacteria based on: a. Cell wall composition • :Gram negative . • Gram positive. b. Nutritional requirements : • Autotroghs:take nutrition from carbon dioxide. • Heterotrophs take the nutrition from organic carbon(carbs‚lipids‚protein) • Prototroph: take nutrition from sunlight. • Chemotrophic take nutrition from chemicals. c. Oxygen requirement • Aerobes : Microbes which can grow in the presences of O2 • Anaerobes

have originated into two branches: Bacteria and Archaea. Therefore‚ it is believed that all life forms must have originated from this two domain (Simon et al. 298). Moreover‚ based on the primordial conditions‚ the first forms of life are chemical heterotrophs. The earliest prokaryotes must have fed from the abundance of organic molecules and
