Yes, an autotroph can create and sustain its own food supply by taking in carbon dioxide and putting out oxygen (cellular respiration) and drawing in water and nutrients from the soil and air around them, and most importantly the leaves need to have a source of sunlight in order to cause photosynthesis a process by which sunlight energy is converted into energy to which the plant can use the nutrients and water to create food for themselves.
no heterotrophs cannot make their own food, autotrophs can though.
no heterotrophs cannot make their own food.hetero means-others and auto means-self.therefore autotrophs can make their own food.
By definition, NO. Autotrophs can.
Auto=Self Troph=feeding
So an Autotroph is self feeding, producing its own food through either photosynthesis or some form of chemical reaction.
Hetero=different, so a heterotroph is an organism that feeds on other organisms, consuming either plants, or animals, or both to get its nutrition.
Heterotrophs cannot make their own food as their bodies are not designed to manufacture food. They lack the food-producing organs and in the course of evolution this fact hasn't changed or improved. If you compare green plants that are autotrophes, you will see that they have specialised organs (like leaves) which help in manufacture of food. Leaves have the unique property of converting light energy into chemical energy whereas heterotrophes like humans lack this ability.
Carnivores hunt their food, and because they are 'carnivores' they eat meat. In order to get that meat, they hunt prey. So they hunt, not make.
no they do not make their own food autotrouphs make their own food
An organism that can make its own food
No. Autotrophs make their own food.
An organism that can make its own food is an Autotroph.
Plants are autotrophs (producers) because they make their own food.
Anything that makes their own food is called an autotroph.
An organism that can make it's own food is called an autotroph!
autotroph which means they can make their own food and heterotroph which means they can't make their own food
An organism that can make its own food is an Autotroph.

A cactus is an autotroph. This is because autotrophs make their own food using photosynthesis. A cactus uses photosynthesis to make its own food.

An autotroph is an organism that makes its own food. A heterotroph needs to eat food to survive but cannot make its own. That said, liverworts cannot make their own food, therefore they are heterotrophs.
