ecosystems. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their own food‚ and gets its nutrients and energy requirements by feeding on other organisms; it’s also known as a consumer. Also an autotroph is an organism that captures energy from sunlight or inorganic substances to produce its own food; it’s also known as a producer. And every few days we checked them for changes‚ then recorded it in our eco-logs for a little over 3 weeks. When we collected our autotrophs and heterotrophs‚ we gained one

Protists Protists are a very large‚ diverse group of organisms‚ including the plant-like protists (algae)‚ fungi-like protists‚ and the animal-like protists (protozoans). They are all eukaryotic‚ and most are unicellular. Traditional taxonomy of protists (Kingdom Protista) did not accurately represent evolutionary relationships‚ so the classification of this group is unsettled. Modern taxonomy has rearranged the group formerly known as Kingdom Protista‚ separating the different types of organisms

called trophic levels: 1) the autotrophs‚ and 2) the heterotrophs. To maintaintheir bodies‚ grow‚ develop‚ and to reproduce‚ autotrophs produce organic matter from inorganicsubstances‚ including both minerals and gases such as carbon dioxide. These chemical reactionsrequire energy‚ which mainly comes from the sun and largely by photosynthesis‚ although a very small amount comes from hydrothermal vents and hot springs. A gradient exists between trophic levels running from complete autotrophs that obtain their

This article is about quadratic equations and solutions. For more general information about quadratic functions‚ see Quadratic function. For more information about quadratic polynomials‚ see Quadratic polynomial. A quartic equation is a fourth-order polynomial equation of the form. A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. Monomial – is a polynomial with only one term. Binomial
