Question

the interdependence of autotrophs and heterotrophs

Answer 1

Autotrophs are plants that make their own food from sunlight while heterotrophs are animals who need to eat to get energy. Autotrophs need sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make food (through photosynthesis), uses up the carbon in carbon dioxide, and releases the oxygen. Heterotrophs have to consume autotrophs to get the necessary energy. e.g bacteria, blue green algae, carnivores, omnivores are few examples of both 

Answer 2

HEY !!

☆☆ INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AUTOTROPHS AND HETEROTROPHES☆☆

☆ Autotrophs are plants that make their own food from sunlight while heterotrophs are animals who need to eat to get energy. Heterotrophs eat autotrophs, but the relationship is more complicated than that.


☆ Autotrophs need sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make food (through photosynthesis), uses up the carbon in carbon dioxide, and releases the oxygen.


☆ Heterotrophs need oxygen to process food into energy (through cellular respiration), while releasing carbon dioxide.


☆ Autotrophs and heterotrophs keep the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere balanced, and use the element the other releases.
