They are those which make their own food, as opposed to those which absorb it from outside. They usually photosynthesise but may chemosynthesise.

Is bacterium a heterotroph?
Some bacteria are heterotrophs, others are autotrophs.
What do autotrophs include?
Autotrophs include plants, plantlike protists, cyanobacteria, and bacteria capable of making their own food through chemosynthesis.
What is the role of autotrophs and heterotrophs in the cycling of nitrogen through the environment?
Autotrophs get the nitrogen from the soil by the nitrogen fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen to nitrate salts used up by plants while heterotrophs gets them when they consume the autotrophs, making them have some of the nitrates in palnts. Autotrophs and heterotrophs then die and are decomposed by bacteria to recycle the nitrogen in air . Some of those bacteria converts the nitrates into form of nitrogen recycling them into the atmosphere.
Are all bacteria auottrophs?
no not all of them are autotrophs some of them also heterotrophs and parasites
What is bacteria that has the ability to create their own food?
Autotrophs, just like flowers and grass, bacteria make their own food too! Bacteria are sometimes also heterotrophs as well. That means the oposite of aoutotrophs, they don't make their own food. Hope i helped :)
What are heterotrophic bacteria?
Bacteria in which consume other bacteria. ie: not autotrophs (primary producers)

Consuming autotrophs and other heterotrophs.
How do heterotrophic bacteria get their own food?
By consuming autotrophs and other heterotrophs.

What organism make there own food?
Autotrophs. They can be photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs, such as the organisms living near hydrothermal vents.
