All living things require free energy. all but one statement describes how a group of organisms acquire free energy. that is a) photosynthetic organisms acquire free energy from light in their environment. b) photosynthetic autotrophs make free energy through the process of photosynthesis. c) heterotrophs acquire free energy by consuming carbon compounds produced by other organisms. d) chemosynthetic autotrophs capture free energy from small inorganic molecules present in their environment.

Ans.

Free energy is required by all living organisms in order to grow, develop, and reproduce. The photosynthetic autotrophs acquire free energy from sun light in their environment by the process of photosynthesis. Plants do not make free energy, they use light energy of sun and convert it into chemical energy.

Thus, the correct answer is 'B). photosynthetic autotrophs make free energy through the process of photosynthesis.'

imagine a line passing through the center of earth that goes through both the north pole and the south pole. this imaginary line is called an axis. earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. this spinning movement is called earth's rotation. at the same time that the earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the sun. this movement is called revolution.
