What orgenelle in an animal cell is the site of autotrophic nutrition?

It’s a regents question which I need help with.

This is an odd question, since animals are heterotrophs not autotrophs. Plants are autotrophs (can make their own food and high energy molecules) and they use chloroplasts to do it. Animal cells get their high energy molecules by eating food, breaking it down and then extracting the energy using the organelle called a mitochondrion.

The pharmaceutical grade nutrition industry is booming! People are waking up to the fact that many prescription meds and even our own doctors are killing us. If you are not taking pharmaceutical grade nutrients in sufficient quantity you should look into it. If you are not sharing these wonders with others, you are missing the boat.

when you read about different diets, for breakfast you see eat half a grapefruit, why is it a grapefruit and not an orange? whats the difference in nutrition between the two?

They are very close to each other in terms of nutrition.

Pink grapefruit has more Vitamin A than orange, that’s about it.

Grapefruit:

I already have a bachelor’s degree, but am looking to further my education and don’t have the time to go to an actual university. I have never done online classes, and am seeking some advice on a reputable online university. My focus is nutrition or health and wellness. Thanks!

I’m a freshman in college, majoring in nutrition. For my major you have to do a 5th year internship. To be chosen, it looks really good if you’ve worked and volunteered in things that relate somewhat to nutrition. I’m trying to think outside the box. I’ve been looking at the local hospital, my states food bank and nursing homes. Also job-wise there are restaurants and grocery stores maybe? But what are some other ideas where I could possibly work with any connection to food? I’d really appreciate any ideas! Thanks!

nursing home or assisted living center

How do the food processors figure out the food products’ Nutrition Facts?

Ex. How do the food processors figure out how many calories (and so on) are in a granola bar?

they calculate the igredients they put in and how much they put in the granola bar and record it and then they add it up.

I am halfway through my college career and majoring in Nutrition. I don’t always feel confident that I am in the right field. Please tell me about your experiences! Did you feel prepared for your career after college?

Hi,

I didnt study nutrition at college, but I understand how u feel in a way. I’ve been studying to be an (adult) general nurse for almost 3 years, & will complete my training in less than 6 months- & i dont feel nearly as ready as I feel I should be. I’ve been told that the real learning takes place when I go into 1st job, & there have been times when Ive felt I’ve not made the right choice in career- but I’ve stuck at it & will see how I get on when i get a job. I’m sure you’ll be fine though- you’ve come this far & you probably will have doubts at times, but your halfway there,

Good luck

I am learning about nutrition, for my own interest and benefit. I have a couple of decent books, one with a table of nutritional values of foods.

There are many references to the toxicity of some vitamins and minerals if taken in excess, but nowhere can I find out how much is too much and the symptoms.
Can anyone help, please.

The following may be of interest, it is long and may not be up to date but will give you some guidelines.
