Answer 2

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".

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.
