All animals are heterotrophic, or have to take in food (trophic) from a different (hetero) source. Plants and some bacteria are autotrophic ("self-feeding"), meaning they do not need to feed on another organism for their energy source. This is because they are able to synthesize sugars (glucose) from the raw materials of carbon dioxide and water, in the process of photosynthesis using the power of the sun to fuel the reaction.

What are two types of effectors and how does each respond to stimuli?

Is cyanobacteria sutotrophic or heterotrophic?
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.
