Organisms may derive energy from
A)sunlight.
B)metabolizing chemical compounds.
C)little tiny AAAAAAAAA batteries.
D)temperature gradients.
E)sunlight AND metabolizing chemical compounds.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organisms can derive energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis, which converts sunlight into chemical energy. Alternatively, they can derive energy from metabolizing chemical compounds through cellular respiration. Many organisms, such as plants and algae, are capable of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, allowing them to obtain energy from both sources. The options of little tiny AAAAAAAAA batteries and temperature gradients are not viable ways for organisms to derive energy.
