autotroph

Sucrose: Plants in in vitro culture conditions need an exogenous carbohydrate source because most of the plants grown in vitro tend to shift from autotroph to heterotroph.

The following variables were considered: system type (freshwater, marine, or terrestrial), species richness, the number of food chain paths (FCPs), mean food chain length (MFCL), the relative proportion of endotherms at the herbivore level, maximum food chain length (FCL), connectance, linkage density, average diet breadth, average prey vulnerability, average body size at the autotroph, herbivore and apex predator positions, and the difference between predator-prey body size at the herbivore and apex predator positions.

By focusing on variation in autotroph chemistry on the phytochemical landscape, he links studies of trophic interaction to studies of ecosystem processes in order to show how autotroph chemistry influences, and is influenced by, nutrient dynamics at the ecosystem scale.

These tests expose Salmonella typhimurium strains that are histidine heterotrophs to the substance in question and assay for histidine autotroph mutants.

Yet many believe that heterotrophs evolved before autotrophs, which makes the autotroph drooling even harden to justify.

If the organism involved is an autotroph C [O.sub.2] or HC [O.sub.3] in solution is required.

A leafy liverwort (Porella pinnata) was the dominant autotroph, both in terms of AFDM and N content, and covered 19.1% of the stream bottom.

"Their hypothesis, in my view, suffers from the weakness that it requires a huge changeover in the metabolism of the host from an autotroph [which makes ATP from nonorganic fuel] to a heterotroph [which generates energy from organic molecules]," he says.

Just as there are important economic differences between an autotroph and a heterotroph, so, too, there are important economic differences between an organism that can think and one that cannot.
