Comparing Nutrient and Gas Requirements (HSC SSCE Biology): Flashcards

Organisms that produce own organic nutrients from inorganic

Organisms that obtain nutrients by feeding on other organisms

Not required

Produced by photosynthesis

Ingested into digestive system, absorbed into bloodstream

Capturing sunlight energy and storing it in glucose molecules

Breaks chemical bonds to release energy for life processes

$\mathrm{CO_2}$ and $\mathrm{H_2O}$

Minerals, organic substances, $\mathrm{H_2O}$, $\mathrm{O_2}$

Autotrophs produce own; heterotrophs consume other organisms
