Question

Select the correct statement: (MCQ)

(a) Heterotrophs do not synthesize their own food
(b) Heterotrophs utilise solar energy for photosynthesis
(c) Heterotrophs synthesise their own food
(d) Heterotrophs are capable of converting carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates

Answer 1

Answer:

option A Is the right answer . Because autotrophs synthesis their own food

Answer 2

The organisms obtain energy by consuming other organisms as a food source. Such organisms are known as HETEROTROPHS.

Heterotrophs are directly or indirectly dependent on autotrophs (organisms that synthesize their food) for food.

The heterotrophs can be divided into the following category:

• Carnivore
• Omnivores
• Herbivores
• Scavengers
• Detritivores
• Decomposer

Hence, we know that heterotrophs can't synthesize their own food.

Thus, the correct option is (a) Heterotrophs do not synthesize their own food.
