They use energy from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make organic materials such as simple sugars, that can be used in cellular functions such as respiration. Autotrophs refer to those living organism which has the ability to prepare its own food. They have this unique feature due to the presence of green color pigment called chlorophyll. The food prepared by them is used by themselves as well as other living organisms.
The autotrophs make energy with help of substances such as carbon dioxide gas and water as making materials. In the presence of sunlight, the chlorophyll pigments convert the reactants into product which are nothing but carbohydrate and releases oxygen. According to the paragraph, it talks about the use of carbohydrates and what happens to it in the body. Looking at the choices, only letter C is related to the excerpt.
The excerpt does not talk about how it is essential to living organisms, how they combine, nor the carbon content. So using the excerpt or the information given, you cannot assume the other choices. Carbs are energy sources that we use for immediate sources of energy.
When it is not needed, we it is stored as glycogen in the liver. In an even where we use up the carbs readily available, the stored glycogen will be used as a source of energy through anabolic means. Biology , How do decomposers convert energy for an ecosystem?
Answers: 2. Answer from: melissa The answer would be C. They convert dead organic compounds into reusable organic compounds. Answer from: slawson Correct C. Hence, the correct answer would be option C. Answer from: ccameron1. Option d Explanation: Photoautotrophs are the organism that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide, water into carbohydrates.
The plants traps sunlight in chloroplast which converts light energy into chemical energy. Answer from: camiilajakobsen Log in I don't have account, sign up. Sign up.

All of these components are substances that plants need to grow. Some decomposers are specialized and break down only a certain kind of dead organism.
Others are generalists that feed on lots of different materials. Thanks to decomposers, nutrients get added back to the soil or water, so the producers can use them to grow and reproduce. Most decomposers are microscopic organisms, including protozoa and bacteria. Other decomposers are big enough to see without a microscope. They include fungi along with invertebrate organisms sometimes called detritivores, which include earthworms, termites, and millipedes. Fungi are important decomposers, especially in forests.
Some kinds of fungi, such as mushrooms, look like plants. But fungi do not contain chlorophyll , the pigment that green plants use to make their own food with the energy of sunlight. Instead, fungi get all their nutrients from dead materials that they break down with special enzymes.
The next time you see a forest floor carpeted with dead leaves or a dead bird lying under a bush, take a moment to appreciate decomposers for the way they keep nutrients flowing through an ecosystem. Also called an autotroph.
