Is a Blepharisma an auototroph

Answer 1

Heterotroph: eats bacteria from decaying plants

Answer 2

Blepharisma is not an autotroph. Autotrophs create their own energy. They are self feeders making the nutrients they need from compounds and energy obtained from the environment, such as algae and plants in water. Usually Blepharisma eat bacteria, but can become cannibalistic when there are not enough bacteria to go around. Heterotrophs eat other organisms. They cannot create their own energy from photosynthesis or other methods. They gain energy from storing molecules from digesting other organisms and the remains of other organisms.
