Question

charactrristics of autotrophs and heterotroph​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Autotrophs have the ability to prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They are not dependent on any organism for making their own food. All green plants are autotrophs. Heterotrophs cannot prepare their own food. They are dependent on autotrophs for their food and nutrition.
