Answer 1

Answer:

I think option C is the right answer.

Answer 2

option D is correct

D. All of these.

Explanation:

Heterotrophic nutrition refers to when organisms rely on other species for food in order to survive. Green plants, on the other hand, are unable to produce their own nourishment. Heterotrophic organisms must consume all of the organic compounds they require to live.

Heterotrophic organisms include all mammals, certain fungi, and non-photosynthetic plants. Green plants, red algae, brown algae, and cyanobacteria, on the other hand, are all autotrophs, meaning they create their own food from sunlight through photosynthesis. Some fungi are saprotrophic, which means they release enzymes onto their food to break it down into smaller, soluble molecules that can be reabsorbed by the fungus.
