The way autotrophs produce food?
Autotrophs produce food by photosyntesis. Photosyntesis is when a plant uses water and the suns energy to produce sugar and energy. This is how they survive, other organisms- heterotroughs eat the autotrophs to gain energy which the autotroughs produce.
How are autotrophs and heterotrophs similar?
They are both living organisms that requires energy to survive.
Is a housefly an autotrophs or heterotrophs?
heterotroph. Autotrophs are producers, they rely on themselves to produce energy usually by photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis. A housefly does not produce its own energy, it relies on feeding on things such as fruit to break down and provide its protein, fats, energy. it needs to feed off of organic substances, therefore it is a heterotroph
What is the ultimate source of energy autotrophs use to produce their own food?
It depends. Most of the autotrophs you have seen are green plants and they ultimately get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. In the oceans, around volcanic vents, entire ecosystems get their energy from organisms that absorb the dissolved chemicals for energy. These are chemoautotrophs or 'chemotrophs' for short.
Why are producers also called autotrophs?
Because Autotrophs make their own food by performing photosynthesis. Hetotrophs get their food by living off and on other organisms.
Where do autotrophs get energy to produce?
sunlight

What is an organism that produce its own energy?
We call these autotrophs.
Two that produce the most energy?
The organisms that produce the most energy are plants. These organisms are autotrophs which means they can produce their own energy from the Sun.
What Organelles capture energy used to produce food?
Autotrophs
How are autotrophs and heterotrophs similar?
They are both living organisms that requires energy to survive.
How does an organism get energy?
autotrophs produce their own energy while heterotrophs get energy by eating other organisms.
Can produce their own energy?
Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food, if that is what you mean by energy. For example, humans are heterotrophs. Autotrophs, however, can produce their own food (like plants, algae, etc). Both heterotrophs and autotrophs need energy to survive, they just use it in different ways.

Autotrophs are organisms that?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce its own food.
Why are autotrophs called producers in an ecosystem?
Autotrophs are called the producers in an ecosystem because they are the first layer of energy. This is because they produce their own food using photosynthesis.
