Alga is not a heterotrophic organism. It is an autotrophic organism because it prepares its food on its own by using the phenomena of photosynthesis. Algae has chlorophyll (due to which it appears green) which helps it to capture the solar energy which helps it to prepare its food in the presence of water, nutrients & oxygen.

What creates lichen?
It's one of these four: heterotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi heterotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi autotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi autotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi But I'm mot sure which.
Are brown algae autotrophic or heterotrophic?
autotrophic
What eats a stentor?
Stentors are heterotrophic. They eat bacteria and algae.
Is cnidaria autotrophic or heterotrophic?
The organism itself is heterotrophic but it may possess a symbiotic algae living within it which acts as an autotroph. Overall it would be considered heteroptrophic.
Is brown algae heterotrophic or autotrophic?
It is an autotroph, because it makes its own food through photosynthesis.

Protozoans differ from algae?
Protozoans are heterotrophic, whereas algae are autotrophic.
Are brown algae autotrophic or heterotrophic?
autotrophic
Is algae autotroph or heterotroph?
Algae are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food.

Stentors are heterotrophic. They eat bacteria and algae.
What are the subgroups of moners?
The subgroups of monera are heterotrophic and autotrophic. Heterotrophic are basically the types of bacteria, meanwhile autotrophic is a type of blue-green algae.

Is it true that Algae and fungi can not photosynthesize because both are animals?
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms- they can't synthesize their own food. Algae do perform photosynthesis thus making them autotrophic. Fungi and algae are not animals.
What does algae?
What algae will consume depends on the particular species of algae, whether autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrophic, and the conditions it is in. Photoautotrophic algae (plant-like algae) mostly need sunlight, Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus as well as water and CO2. Other species are able to survive without sunlight and others feed on bacteria and sugars instead of making their own sugars. Sometimes even photoautotrophic and heterotrophic algae if in lack of O2, they can no longer respirate so they go into anaerobic respiration and ferment.
Can protist be autotrophic heterothrophic or both?
Protists can be either autotrophic (algae) or heterotrophic (amoeba). See the link below:
What are organisms capable of?
All plants, phytoplankton, algae, and a class of bacteria known as photosynthetic [or 'heterotrophic'] use photosynthesis.
