Question

1. which of the following best describes how humans get the materials they need to grow and have energy? they eat a lot of carbon dioxide and water to make glucose. they breathe in nitrogen and phosphorus needed to make atp. they directly use the energy from sunlight to make sugars. they eat food that contains atoms needed to make atp and other large molecules.

Explanation:

• Humans are heterotrophs. They cannot make their own food like plants (which use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make glucose).
• Humans do not breathe in nitrogen and phosphorus to make ATP.
• Humans do not directly use sunlight to make sugars.
• Humans eat food. Food contains atoms (such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc.) that are used to make ATP (for energy) and other large molecules (like proteins, lipids, etc.) needed for growth.

Answer:

They eat food that contains atoms needed to make ATP and other large molecules.
