Question

Differentiate between autotrophs and heterotrophs in detail?

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.

hoppe it helps u dear❤️❤️❤️

Answer 2

Answer:

AUTOTROPHS

• Autotrophs are organisms that prepare their own food.
• These are known as the producers and include green plants, algae and a few photosynthetic bacteria.
• These can be classified as photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs.
• They obtain energy from inorganic sources by converting light energy into chemical energy.

HETEROTROPHS

• Heterotrophs depend upon other organisms for nutrition.
• These are the consumers and include cows, buffaloes, tigers, horses, etc.
• These can be classified as photoheterotrophs and chemoheterotrophs
• They obtain energy directly or indirectly from other organisms.
