The pea aphid, a type of insect, contains light-capturing pigments in its exoskeleton. pea aphids gained the ability to synthesize these pigments from genes transferred from fungi. while pea aphids do not have chloroplasts or fix carbon, researchers have found that pea aphids with more pigments have higher levels of atp than those with fewer pigments. pea aphids also have been shown to increase production of atp when exposed to sunlight.
based on this information, is the pea aphid a true autotroph?
a.
yes, because the pea aphid can store energy from the sun in atp molecules.
b.
yes, because the pea aphid does not need to use energy from food.
c.
no, because the pea aphid is unable to use the energy from sunlight.
d.
no, because the pea aphid depends on genes from fungii to utilize energy from sunlight.

An autotroph is an organism that can generate it's own nutrients. In the example, you see a relationship which allows the pea aphid to gain more energy, but not produce it.

And hetertroph is an organisms that can't generate it's own nutrients, and therefore needs to feed on something, which is the case of pea aphids.

C is the answer

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.

the answer is lactic acid from anaerobic respiration. the acid in lactic acid is what creates sore and burning muscles. if you think about how acid burns that will give you a clue for questions like this.
