Sentences with autotroph
au·to·troph
A a - It is likely that the long evolutionary trajectory of Mycoplasma went from a reductive autotroph to oxidative heterotroph to a cell-wall–defective degenerate parasite.

- Physiologically, plant conversion or seedling development involves a transition from the heterotrophic embryo to an autotrophic plant.
- These differences correlate with differentiated function as heterotrophic, autotrophic and transport pathway components of the leaf.
- These developmental differences between autotrophs and parasites suggest that the functions of photoreceptors differ among autotrophs, hemiparasites, and holoparasites.
- Plants are sessile, autotrophic, and grow in an indeterminate and modular manner.
- Recently there has been discussion about the metabolic state of the ocean, with arguments questioning whether the open ocean is net autotrophic or net heterotrophic.
- Moreover, growth rate was deeply reduced during heterotrophic and autotrophic development.
- Plants are autotrophs, self-nourishing life forms.
- Because they interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs - organisms which make their own food using photosynthesis.
- The kelps are an important group of marine autotrophs that has left little or nothing in the way of a direct fossil record.
- After greening and probable transition from heterotrophy to autotrophy, root growth rate was enhanced and growth followed a linear pattern.
