Want this question answered?
i believe that orchids are heterotrophic. this is because they complete photosynthesis for energy rather than ingesting other organisms for energy.
no. -heterotrophs (including heterotrophic bacteria) are consumers, an organism that obtains energy from organic matter. all animals are heterotrophs.
A paramecium is a heterotroph because it does not perform photosynthesis to make it's own sugar using energy from the sun.
No they are heterotrophic. They lack chloroplasts to convert sunlight into energy, so they rely on metabolizing organic compounds for energy.
Heterotrophic mushrooms are mushrooms that are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are organisms that acquire their food from the bodies of other organisms. Anything that eats anything else is a heterotroph. Heterotrophic mushrooms digest decomposing organisms such as dead trees. If a mushroom were not heterotrophic, it would create its own energy from an abiotic source, such as sunlight or chemicals. (e.g. Plants are autotrophs because they feed through photosynthesis.)

Cysnobscteris is sutotrophic ss they obtsin their energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. If they were heterotropic, they would hsve to get their energy from other sources.
Yes. Paramecium do not preform photosynthesis, which would make them autotrophic, so they must ingest their food for energy. Bacteria, for instance.

A heterotrophic absorber is an organism that gets its energy by consuming other organisms.
Autotrophs produce their own food/energy from sunlight. (or some called chemotrophs can get it from heat and chemicals such as certain organisms in deep sea heat vents) Heterotrophs must get food/energy from other heterotrophs or autotrophs. (Cellular respiration) So, a cell capable of photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis is autotrophic... all others are heterotrophic.
Heterotrophic
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.
Bacteria get their energy from the food they eat.
