By consuming autotrophs and other heterotrophs.
Heterotrophic means " other eaters " which means these bacteria can not make their own food and much engulf it, whether other bacteria or plant like matter. Autotroph means " own food " and these bacteria preform photosynthesis.
Some bacteria are heterotrophs and cannot make their own food. Instead, Heterotrophic bacteria must consume other organisms or the food that other organisms make. Heterotrophic bacteria may consume a variety of foods--from milk and meat, which you might also eat, to the decaying leaves on a forest floor

Heterotrophic organisms are ones that get their energy from feeding on to other organisms. Humans is good example a heterotrophic organism
Paramecium can not make their own food as autotrophs can so they are " other eaters, " heterotrophs. I think they basically consume bacteria.
Autotrophic means that the organism produces it's own food by photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis. if you meant heterotrophic then you forgot, at least, that other bacteria were around to be eaten.
Consuming autotrophs and other heterotrophs.
It's parasitic, so it's heterotrophic and does not make its own food.
Heterotrophic
no, some bacteria are heterotrophic and some are autotrophic. Most bacteria are heterotrophic though.
The main difference between autotrophic and heterotophic cells is that autotroph cells produce their own food, while heterotrophic cells do not. Another difference is that autotrophs obtain carbon from inorganic sources like carbon dioxide, while heterotrophs get their reduced carbon from other organisms.
Most bacteria are heterotrophs (like us.) Heterotrophs must get their food from another source (such as in our gut or on our skin.) Some bacteria are autotrophs, which means they make their own food from performing either photosynthesis (using the sun) or chemosynthesis (using inorganic compounds.)
