An Autotroph Literally self-energy (self food maker)
Auto-self Hetero-another Troph-feeder Therefor, the auto + the troph makes it something that produces it's own food, or self feeding. The Hetero + the troph makes it one who feeds of of others. The "troph" relates both to feeding, while the "hetero" and "auto" make them different. Hope this helps.
An autotroph (self + feeding) is an organism that makes it own food using light energy or chemosynthesis. Examples are plants and algae.A heterotroph (different + feeding) uses organic (living) carbon for growth. Examples are animals, fungi and bacteria.A fish is an animal and does not make its own food, so it is a heterotroph.
A grasshopper is a heterotroph.
Heterotroph
If an organism is a "self-feeder" It's scientific word would be autotroph the opposite is an organism that gets it's food from other sources would be a heterotroph
self
They do obtain some of their food through filtering, but because they mainly manufacture energy through photosynthesis, they are autotrophs.
It is an Autotroph. )))

"Auto" means "self". So self food producers are called autotrophs. Autotrophs include plants and some bacteria. So, a bison, not being a plant or bacteria, is a heterotroph because it cannot produce its own food.
The viper-fish is a heterotroph.
