heterotrophs
They are grown on medium that contains the nutrient that they cannot synthesize
Heterotrophs
Heterotrophic bacteria rely on organic compounds produced by other organisms as a food source, as they are unable to produce their own through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These bacteria obtain nutrients by consuming or decomposing organic matter from their environment.
Organisms that cannot make their own food are called heterotrophs.Most categories of organisms, excepting green plants and some bacteria, are heterotrophs.
These bacteria are called cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. They use photosynthesis to produce their own food, generating oxygen as a byproduct. This process is similar to that of plants.
Bacteria that synthesize their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light are called photoautotrophic bacteria. They use light energy to drive the process of photosynthesis, converting inorganic compounds into organic compounds for their energy needs.
They cannot synthesize own food. photosynthesis gives food for them
Organisms that cannot synthesize its own food and is dependent on complex organic substance for nutrition are called hetrotrophic organisms. Some hetrotrophs would be birds, lions, elephants, bears, humans, etc.
honey is the food that bacteria can not hurt.
Both types of bacteria exist. Some are autotrophic while others are heterotrophic. Most autotrophic bacteria can synthesize their food from substances like hydrogen sulphide. This process is called chemosynthesis and involves the use of chemical substances for the production of energy. Heterotrophic bacteria, in contrast, cannot synthesize their own energy and must consume organic matter for energy. These include decomposing bacteria, or other groups of bacteria that may be symbiotic of parasitic in nature.
bacteria cannot make its own food because scientists think they arent alive
because they one fungal partner which synthesis
