define: Autotrops and hetrotroph
Answers
Answer:
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".
AUTOTROPHS:-An autotroph or primary producer is an organism that produces complex organic compounds using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide. EG- PLANTS
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. EG-ANIMALS
