Question

What are Autotrophs,heterotrophs and saprotrophs ? Give example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Autotrophs: The organisms which are capable to prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis are called autotrophs. They are also called producers. For example: green plants. Saprotrophs: The organisms which depend on dead and decaying organic materials like plants and animals are called saprotrophs.

autotroph:-

• An autotroph or primary producer is an organism that produces complex organic compounds using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions.

• Example:- Plants, lichens, and algae are examples of autotrophs capable of photosynthesis.

heterotrophs:-

• A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. ... Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. Dogs, birds, fish, and humans are all examples of heterotrophs.

• Example:- Dogs, birds, fish, and humans are all examples of heterotrophs. Heterotrophs occupy the second and third levels in a food chain, a sequence of organisms that provide energy and nutrients for other organisms.

saprotrophs:-

• Saprotrophic nutrition or lysotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi and soil bacteria.

• Example:- Saprotrophs take their food in solution form, from dead and decaying matter. Bacteria, fungi, and fungus-like organisms are examples of saprotrophs. Saprotrophic microbes fungi are also known as saprobes and saprotrophic plants are called saprophytes.
