Based on your understanding of the mind map, answer the following questions:
1) What is the major difference between the autotrophs and heterotrophs?
2) What is the importance of autotrophs and heterotrophs for the survival of the planet Earth?
3) Do plants grow on other planets in the solar system? Why? (Hint: relate it to the conditions necessary for photosynthesis)
4) In one of their experiments, the NASA scientists had carried plants to the space to be grown inside their space crafts. Can you list down some reasons for
their experiment?
5) The symbiotic relationship in the plant kingdom teaches us a lot of values. Can you list down these values?
6)
The insectivorous plants like the pitcher plant eat insects. Is it right for them to do so? Write down your views about the same (please answer fast i should submet it tomorrow morning please help me please)

Answer:
Explanation:Autotrophs, shown in Figure below, store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules they build themselves. Food is chemical energy stored in organic molecules. Food provides both the energy to do work and the carbon to build bodies. Because most autotrophs transform sunlight to make food, we call the process they use photosynthesis. Only three groups of organisms - plants, algae, and some bacteria - are capable of this life-giving energy transformation. Autotrophs make food for their own use, but they make enough to support other life as well. Almost all other organisms depend absolutely on these three groups for the food they produce. The producers, as autotrophs are also known, begin food chains which feed all life.
Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it. For this reason, heterotrophs are also known as consumers. Consumers include all animals and fungi and many protists and bacteria. They may consume autotrophs or other heterotrophs or organic molecules from other organisms. Heterotrophs show great diversity and may appear far more fascinating than producers. But heterotrophs are limited by our utter dependence on those autotrophs that originally made our food. If plants, algae, and autotrophic bacteria vanished from earth, animals, fungi, and other heterotrophs would soon disappear as well. All life requires a constant input of energy. Only autotrophs can transform that ultimate, solar source into the chemical energy in food that powers life, as shown in Figure below. Pls brainlist this took me so long
Answer:
There are many differences, but in terms of energy, it all starts with sunlight. Plants absorb the energy from the sun and turn it into food. You can sit in the sun for hours and hours. You will feel warm, but you're not going to absorb any energy. You have to eat to obtain your energy.
