It is not an autotroph, it is actually a hetotroph. It is a Hetotroph because it eats what it spawns on (The bread) and can't create food using sunlight. (It does, however, spawn better in sunlight)

Bread mold i not a parasite. It is a saprophyte. Parasites live off of living organisms and saprophytes live off of decaying organic matter. Saprophytes are of the Kingdom Fungi. They release digestive enzymes into the immediate environment witch breaks down organic matter so the fungi can absorb the digested food through their cell wall. Bread is non living organic matter.

None of the above :) Bread mold is heterotrophic, meaning realize on other organisms for food. (compare to definitions below)

parasitic: organism that feeds on another living organism

saprophytic: organism that feeds on dead matter

autotrophic: organism that makes its own food

Most molds can be seen with the naked eye. Mold is an organism, but not necessarily a microorganism.

No. That's why it grows on bread. It breaks down the bread starches into simple sugars.
