Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. 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

Depending on their mode of nourishment, organisms can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Some creatures produce their own food, while others rely on the food of other organisms.

Explanation:

Autotroph

  • Plants, for example, produce their own sustenance from simple ingredients. They are known as autotrophs, and their feeding style is known as autotrophic nutrition.
  • Autotrophs are known as producers because they produce the food that all other species require.
  • Autotrophs are the first trophic level of a food chain.
  • Autotrophs include plants, algae, and some microorganisms.

Heterograph

  • Heterotrophs are organisms that rely on plants or autotrophs for nourishment, and heterotrophic nutrition is the mechanism of nutrition they use.
  • Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they eat food made by autotrophs.
  • After plants, heterotrophs form the next trophic level in the food chain.
  • Heterotrophs include most mammals, fungi, and microbes.
