Q

An algae uses photons from the sun to convert Carbon Dioxide into sugar, which it then metabolizes to produce ATP

A

Photoautotroph

29
Q

A kinetoplastid infects a host and derives organic nutrients from its host; it uses its host as a supply of organic Carbon and breaks down chemicals to generate energy

A

Chemoheterotrophs

30
Q

An oomycete lives on a dead fish and slowly drains the nutrients from the fish as it decays, aiding in the process of decomposition

A

Absorptive heterotroph

31
Q

A euglenid can use its eyespot to move forward sunlight and carry out photosynthesis ; when sunlight is not sufficient, it can switch to heterotrophic forms of metabolism

A

Mixotroph
