Question

what is the differences between autotrophs and heterotrophs give 2 examples for each?

Answer 1

Humans are heterotrophs we eat autotrophs these autotrophs produce and heterotrophs are consumers. For example, plants are autotrophs their way of producing their own nutrition/ food would be photosynthesis. Heterotrophs break down compounds for energy from foods (carbs, fat, protein, etc.)

Answer 2

Autotroph: an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide. Heterotroph: an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Answer 3

umm can you help me it's the night before the lat day of school can come help me? plz?

Answer 4

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms -- both plants and animals -- for nutrition. Technically, the definition is that autotrophs obtain carbon from inorganic sources like carbon dioxide (CO2) while heterotrophs get their reduced carbon from other organisms. Autotrophs are usually plants; they are also called "self feeders" or "primary producers".

Autotroph
Heterotroph
Produce own food Yes No
Food chain level Primary Secondary and tertiary
Types Photoautotroph, Chemoautotroph Photoheterotroph, Chemoheterotroph
Examples Plants, algae, and some bacteria Herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores
Definition An organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide. Heterotrophs cannot produce organic compounds from inorganic sources and therefore rely on consuming other organisms in the food chain.
What or How they eat ? Produce their own food for energy. They eat other organisms to get proteins and energy.
