Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Autotrophic                                                                                    

1. In this mode of nutrition organisms prepare their food by themselves.

2.Their are two types of autotrophic mode of nutrition-: Photoautotrophic (photo=light) and chemoautotrophic (chemo=chemical)

3.In autotrophic mode of nutrition prey-predators relationship doesn't exist.

4.Example-Plants,Algae etc.

Heterotrophic

1.In this mode of nutrition organisms feed on other organisms.

2.Their are 3 types of mode of nutrition-:Holozoic(holo=whole;zoikos=of animals) , Parasitic and Saprophytic

3. Show prey-predator relationship(prey= animal that is killed by another for food;predator=an animal that naturally preys on others)
