1} autotrophs --- green plants are able to prepare their own food from simple raw materials ---- carbon dioxide from the air , and water from the soil. plants get the enegy for preparing food from sunlight. this mode of nutrition where green plants make food themselves from simple substances is called autotrophic nutrition. such plants are therefore called autotrophs.
2} hetrotrophs --- animals and non - green plants, such as fungi and bacteria, cannot prepare their own food. they depend directly or indirectly on green plants for their nutrition. this mode of nutrition is called hetrotrophic nutrition. animals and non - green plants are known as hetrotrophs.
Autotrophs
1. They prepare their own food
2. They contain chlorophyll
3. All green plants are examples
Heterotrophs
1. They depend on plants for food
2. They do not have chlorophyll
3. Humans, fungi, animals etc are examples
an autotroph produces its own energy source and a heterotroph consumes other autotrophs energy
Autotrophs produce their own "food" in photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs eat other organisms for nutritions.
the similarities are they both are in biology
autotrophs are me heterotrophs are you saprotrophs are us all
Both!Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.
Chloroplasts are for autotrophs. Hetrotrophs get C from others.chloroplasts capture light energy.Heterotrophs get energy from chemicals mainly

they're autotrophs answered by nick4451bacteria are hetrotrophs not autotrophs. hetrotrophs are those that feed on ready made food and autotrophs are those that make their o food like plants. you can also defy them asSaprotrophs.answer by menard magorimbo
Autotrophs and Hetrotrophs.
animals are heterotrophs because they can't make their own food
Autotrophs make their own food using chlorophyll, (sunlight energy) whereas; hetrotrophs don't. Hetrotrophs feed off other living things. e.g. -a plant absorbs sunlight to grow, release and store (so the plant is an autotroph) -a cow then eats the plant and the energy is transferred (so the cow is a hetrotroph) - a human then eats the cow and the energy is, once again, transferred (so the human is a hetrotroph) - the energy is then lost as heat

Chemosythetic autotrophs use chemicals for "food", but photosynthetic autotrophs use light (sunlight) to make their "food".
autotrophs gain carbon via CO2. Heterotrophs gain carbon by consuming organic molecules.
The living part of ecosystem is the biotic component and is comprises of autotrophs or producers and hetrotrophs or consumer which are designated as t2, t3, t4
