Autotroph:-

  • Usually members of the plant kingdom and certain unicellular organisms like cyanobacteria
  • Autotrophs are producers which prepare their own food.
  • These can be classified as photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs.
  • The chloroplast helps in preparing food.
  • They obtain energy from inorganic sources by converting light energy into chemical energy.
  • Autotrophs can store light energy and chemical energy.
  • They are placed at the primary level in the food chain.
  • They cannot move from their place.
  • Examples:- Green plants, algae and a few photosynthetic bacteria are examples of autotrophs.

Heterotroph:-

  • All members of the animal kingdom
  • Heterotrophs are the consumers who depend on other sources for their food.
  • These can be classified as photoheterotrophs and chemoheterotrophs
  • They do not contain chloroplast, so cannot prepare food.
  • They obtain energy directly or indirectly from other organisms.
  • Heterotrophs cannot store energy.
  • These are placed in the secondary or tertiary level in the food chain.
  • Can move from one place to another in search of food and shelter.
