in many other ways. Cells contain only a small amount of ATP at any one time. They regenerate it from ADP as they need it‚ using energy stored in food. Heterotrophs and Autotrophs The energy to make ATP from ADP comes from food. Organisms get food in one of two ways. Heterotrophs get food by consuming (eating) other organisms. Autotrophs use the energy in sunlight to make their own food. Photosynthesis is the process that uses light energy to produce food molecules. Chemical Energy and

Decomposers‚ such as fungi and bacteria‚ break down dead organisms for food. They return nutrients to the soil. 7.) Describe how energy flows through an ecosystem. Autotrophs get energy to make food through the sun‚ and the heterotrophs get their energy from consuming the autotrophs; they are indirectly

digestion involved in the processing of dead or decayed organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs or heterotrophs‚ and is most often associated with fungi‚ for example Mucor and Rhizopus. The process is most often facilitated through the active transport of such materials through endocytosis within the internal mycelium and its constituent hyphae.[1] [pic][pic] Autotrophic Nutrition The term autotroph has been derived from two Greek wards-auto means self and troph means nutrition.

MICROBIAL NUTRITION Nutrition which is also called as nourishment or aliment is a provision to the cells and organisms with the materials necessary to support life. Here it deals with the nutrition in microorganism which is called as microbial nutrition. Nutrients may be divided into three general‚ often overlapping categories: Those that supply energy‚ those that supply carbon‚ and those that supply any and everything else. In this lecture we will consider nutrition from the point

If the statement is false‚ change the underlined word or words to make the statement true. True 9. All heterotrophs must eat food to get energy. True 10. Autotrophs do not need to eat food because they make food. False sunlight 11. The energy in food originally came from ATP. False

Extra Credit Assignment Energy Transfer in living systems Energy is the capacity to do work. All living organisms require energy for carrying on their vital metabolic activities. The primary source of energy for living system is solar radiation. The radiant energy of sunlight cannot be utilized directly by all living organisms. This ability rests only with the green plants. All the other organisms have to meet their energy requirement only through the green plants. Energy that flows in the living
