Answer

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Autotrophs

  • Kinds of nutrition in which in organic materials like CO2, water etc are utilized to prepare organic food by the process of photosynthesis.

  • Eg. Green Plants

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Heterotrophs

  • Kinds of nutrition in which in organisms donot possess the ability to synthesize their own food. They depend on autotrophs for their food supply directly or indirectly.

  • eg. Animals, Fungi

Answer:

ok let me help you with this,

Explanation:

autotrophs:

Autotrophs store chemical energy in carbohydrate food molecules they build themselves. Most autotrophs make their "food" through photosynthesis using the energy of the sun.Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, using materials from inorganic sources. The word “autotroph” comes from the root words “auto” for “self” and “troph” for “food.” An autotroph is an organism that feeds itself, without the assistance of any other organisms.An autotroph or primary producer is an organism that produces complex organic compounds using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions.

heterotrophs:

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot manufacture its own food by carbon fixation and therefore derives its intake of nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are secondary and tertiary consumersA heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are primary, secondary and tertiary consumers, but not producers.examples of heterotrophs. Heterotrophs occupy the second and third levels in a food chain, a sequence of organisms that provide energy and nutrients for other organisms.
