Document Summary
Lettuce sea slug ingests algae (keeps chloroplasts from algae in the digestive tract) Can use this to do photosynthesis: b) heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming organism compounds made by other organisms, herbivores. Eat plants, could eat algae, eat fungi: amoeba some are herbivores or carnivores, predators, organisms that catch, kill and eat their prey. Some birds are predators, and some could be herbivores. Called c3 bc first c adds to 2c molecule to make 3c. Photosynthesis happens in mesophyll cells (in the middle of the leaf) problem w c3 plants (cid:396)elates to e(cid:374)z(cid:455)(cid:373)e that fi(cid:454)es the c i(cid:374)to enzyme is rubisco conceit to know: C4 gets name from co2 comes in adds to 3c molecule, making 4c molecule. C4 photosynthesis seems t be an adaptation to high temp. Cam plants are found in arid (dry) and saline (salty) environments. They live at bottom of ocean floor or near mining sites pesticide used in antimicrobial hand soaps: herbivores.
