Difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic 6 points

1.Autotrophsare organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis).

2.Autotrophs use inorganic materials like carbon dioxide, water, Sunlight to create their own food.

3.Autotrophs use colouring pigments like chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis to produce food.

4.EXAMPLESAutotrophs are mainly green plants

5.Autotrophic nutrition is influenced by biochemical catalytic substances, water, humidity, temperature, etc.

1.Heterotroph are the organisms which are dependent on other organisms for their food.

2.Heterotrophs procure food by feeding on other organisms directly or indirectly.

3.Heterotrophs don’t need any coloring pigments to obtain food.

4.Heterotrophs are also called as parasites and some examples are animals, birds, fungi, some Protozoa, etc.

5.Heterotrophic nutrition is influenced by digestive enzymes, Nature of food what is vegetarian or non-vegetarian, etc.

Autotrophic Nutrition

• It is a nutrition in which an organism prepares it's own food with the help of sunlight, water and air.

• Autotrophs are independent of any organisms.

• Autotrophs are the producers of food chain.

• Types of Autotrophic nutrition: (i)Phototrophic (ii) Chemotrophic

• Generally green plants and blue green algae can perform the autotrophic Nutrition.

Heterotrophic Nutrition

• It is a nutrition in which an organism is not able to make its own food and is dependent on other organism to obtain it's food.

• Heterotrophs are dependant on other organisms.

• Heterotrophs are the consumers of food chain.

• Types of Heterotrophic nutrition : (i) Holozoic (ii) Saprophytic (iii)Parasitic and (iv) Symboitic Association.

•Some plants and all animals obtain food by heterotrophic nutrition.
