2. Which of the following is a heterotroph?
a. Dirt
b. Pumpkin
c. Cat
d. Flower

c) Cat

Explanation:

A heterotroph is an organism which depends on plants or other animals for food because it cannot manufacture its own food. All animals are heterotrophs while green plants are autotrophs because they can manufacture their own food using chlorophyll in a process known as photosynthesis. Heterotrophs feed on complex organic food materials.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
