Hetrotroph (biology definition): An organism that cannot make its own food; it is unable to synthesize its own organic carbon-based compounds from inorganic sources and as a result, they feed on organic matter produced by, or available in, other organisms.
Etymology: from Greek “héteros”, meaning “different” + “trophos”, meaning “feeder”.
The word heterotroph gives origin to certain words:
- Heterotrophy (noun)
- The condition of being a heterotroph is called heterotrophy. For example: “A right whale, one of the largest creatures in the ocean, exhibits heterotrophy. It feeds on plankton, some of the smallest organisms in the ocean”.
- Heterotrophism (noun)
- What is heterotrophism? Is it the same as heterotrophy? Heterotrophism refers to the ability of an organism for a life of heterotrophy.
- Heterotrophic (adjective)
- By definition, this term is used to describe an organism eating other organisms. For example: “Some bacteria are heterotrophic — meaning the heterotrophic bacteria will feed on other types of bacteria for nourishment”.
- Heterotrophically (adverb)
- Feeding heterotrophically means feeding on other organisms. For example: “A shark feeds heterotrophically near the Barrier Reef. It hunts fish and other marine life and is a very efficient predator”.
Types of Heterotrophic Nutrition
In nature, organisms exhibit various types of heterotrophic nutrition. They are as follows:
- Holozoic Nutrition
- Saprophytic Nutrition
- Parasitic Nutrition
