Question

Differtiation of autotrophoc and heterotrophic nutrition

Answer 1

the main point which i would like to state is that the nutrition which we directly derive from the autotroph like from the plants ,etc are called autotrophic nutrition but the nurition that we derive indirectly from the autothrophs like meat,fish etc which the hen and fish feeds on grains and phytoplankton i.e on autotrophs hence we are deriving it indirectly from them are called heterotrophic nutrition.

Secondly the most important pointvis autotrophs can prepare their own food from the natural means but heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for it.Hence we can say autotrophs are independent but heterotrophs are dependent om autotrophs for food directly or indirectly.
