Heterotrophs get carbon molecules by?

Heterotrophs get carbon molecules by consuming other organisms or their byproducts through processes such as feeding and digestion. They rely on autotrophs to synthesize organic compounds that contain carbon through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.


Autotrophs and heterotrophs use carbon containing molecules for energy and for?

Autotrophs use carbon-containing molecules for energy and to build organic compounds through photosynthesis. Heterotrophs obtain these carbon-containing molecules by consuming other organisms or their organic matter for energy and to support their own growth and metabolism.


What is the basic difference between the autotrophs and the heterotraphs?

autotrophs gain carbon via CO2. Heterotrophs gain carbon by consuming organic molecules.


Why Heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs.?

Heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for a variety of reasons. The most obvious reason is that autotrophs are the only organisms that can produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules. This means that heterotrophs must consume autotrophs (or the organic molecules they produce) in order to obtain the organic molecules they need to survive. In addition to this, autotrophs play a vital role in the global carbon and water cycles. They take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce organic molecules. This helps to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which would otherwise contribute to global warming. Autotrophs also release water vapor into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. This helps to regulate the Earth's temperature and keep it habitable for other organisms. Without autotrophs, the world would be a very different place. Heterotrophs would not be able to survive, and the planet would be uninhabitable for most other organisms.

What plants absorb Carbon dioxide?

all heterotrophs


What energy is heterotrophs required in?

nutrient molecules are broken down


Heterotrophs get carbon-containing molecules by?

consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain carbon-containing molecules through processes like feeding, hunting, or scavenging. This allows them to break down complex organic compounds into simpler forms that can be used as an energy source.
