How the autotrophs are different from heterotrophs on the basis of plastids?
avneet880:
most autotrops make their food through photosynthesis using the energy of Sun.hetrotrops cannot make their own food so they must eat or absorb it.chemosynthesis is used to produce food using the chemical energy stored in inorganic molecule

Autotrophs depend on sunlight for their nutrition, using the plastids such as chloroplasts, the leaves perform a chemical reaction-
6CO2 + 6H2O + SUNLIGHT = C6H1206 (glucose) + 6O2
This is the reaction of photosynthesis.
Heterotrophs depend on other sources of nutrition, of which there are four types-
Symbiotic-
two plants have a mutual relationship where one provides sources needed for prodices food, and the other produces food using the sources provided.
Parasitic-
a parsitic plant invades a host plant plant and steels its nutrition.
Saphrophytic-
plants that feed on dead and decaying matter.
Insectivorous-
this is where a plant feeds on insects.
Most of the hetrotrophs don't containd plastids such as chloroplasts.
And thsi si how they differ.
