Question

write notes on the following:
(a) Autotrophs
(a) Heterotrophs​

Answer 1

Answer:

An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. ... Some types of bacteria are autotrophs. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.

A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophe for “nourishment.” Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs.
