Answer 1

Explanation:

A) In answering the question, are bacteria animals or plants, we can deduce that bacteria are unique organisms and deserve their own separate classification system. Bacteria are neither animals nor plants Because Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes and have a well defined rigid cell wall that provides them resistance to drugs/antibiotics/desiccation. ... Likewise, plants are characterized by presence of cellulosic cell wall outside their cell membrane,

B) Autotrophs are producers which prepare their own food. Heterotrophs are the consumers who depend on other sources for their food. These can be classified as photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs. These can be classified as photoheterotrophs and chemoheterotrophs.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Bacteria are neither animals nor plants. Bacteria are single-celled, prokaryotic organisms in comparison to animals and plants which are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms. Because bacteria are prokaryotic, they do not have a nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles.

• “Autotrophs are organisms that prepare their own food through the process of photosynthesis, whereas heterotrophs are organisms that cannot prepare their own food and depend upon autotrophs for nutrition.”
