A difference between marathon runners and sprinters is:
marathon runners have more slow twitch fibers in their leg muscles
sprinters perform better in activities that require low, prolonged movements.
sprinters have a higher proportion of muscle fibers that need oxygen to make ATP.
marathon runners have more fast twitch fibers in their leg muscles
Humans are both
heterotrophs and autotrophs
heterotrophs and consumers
autotrophs and producers
producers and consumers
Photosynthetic organisms are:
consumers that obtain organic molecules from another living organism.
producers that make all their own organic matter from inorganic molecules.
decomposers that obtain nutrients from the soil
producers that make all of their organic matter from organic molecules that they take in.
