Trophy

Question 1

What is -trophy?

Answer 1

the process of feeding

all organism do it

Question 2

How are organisms named based on lifestyle?

Answer 2

All organisms can be grouped by methods they use to solve their feeding needs
* some organisms can switch their methods

Question 3

What are the 3 needs of all organisms?

Answer 3

1. Energy- needed for work
2. Electrons- need for reduction
3. Reduced Carbon- need for biosynthesis

Question 4

What is energy need for and where is it store?

Answer 4

for development, growth, movement, and chemical reactions

-is stored as potential energy in bonds of carbs and protiens

Question 5

Naming by energy source

Answer 5

• energy source + troph
  1. Phototrophs- get energy from sunlight
  2. Chemotrophs- get energy from oxidation of electron donors

Question 6

What is electron need and what is used for?

Answer 6

Needed in redox reactions that involve energy transfer

distinction needs to be made in chemotrophs

Question 7

Naming by electron needs

Answer 7

Organotrophs: get e- from organic source
Lithotrophs: get e- from inorganic compounds

Question 8

What is reduced carbon needs?

Answer 8

Used in the synthesis of biological molecules

-needed to produce all 4 biomolecules (protiens, carbs, fats, nucleic acids)

Question 9

Naming by reduced carbon needs

Answer 9

Autotrophs: get their carbon from CO2
Heterotrophs: Get their carbon needs from other organic compounds

Question 10

What makes chemolithoautotrophs distinct?

Answer 10

1. Don’t rely on sun
2. Don’t consume photoautotrophs or heterotrophs
3. make it a possibility for life on other planets

Mostly bacteria or extremophiles , eat ROCKS
