Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food.
An example of a heterotroph is a human or a mouse. We have to find our food.
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food.
An example of an autotroph is a sunflower. They make their food through photosynthesis.

What are the similarities between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?
the similarities are they both are in biology
Why don't heterotrophs have chloroplast?
Chloroplasts are for autotrophs. Hetrotrophs get C from others.chloroplasts capture light energy.Heterotrophs get energy from chemicals mainly
What is the difference between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?
Autotrophs produce their own "food" in photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs eat other organisms for nutritions.
What is the name of the living parts of an ecosystem?
The living part of ecosystem is the biotic component and is comprises of autotrophs or producers and hetrotrophs or consumer which are designated as t2, t3, t4
Is protista autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
Both!Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.
Is a moneran an autotroph?
no.they are hetrotrophs.
A kingdom that includes only hetrotrophs is?
Plantae
What are the similarities between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?
the similarities are they both are in biology
What are two major groups of organisms based on how they obtain their energy?
Autotrophs and Hetrotrophs.
What do bacteria feed on?
they're autotrophs answered by nick4451bacteria are hetrotrophs not autotrophs. hetrotrophs are those that feed on ready made food and autotrophs are those that make their o food like plants. you can also defy them asSaprotrophs.answer by menard magorimbo
How does photosynthesis benefit hetrotrophs?
it creates food that they can eat because they can not make food theirselves.
How do fungi gets food?
since they're hetrotrophs they hunt for there foodfungi asorb their food
Are animals autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
animals are heterotrophs because they can't make their own food
What characteristic do animal's protists share with animal's?
They can both be multicellular, they can both be hetrotrophs, and they are both eukaryotic.
Are spiders auto-trophic or hetero-trophic?
hetrotrophs because they cannot make their own food. Of course
What is differnce between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?
Autotrophs make their own food using chlorophyll, (sunlight energy) whereas; hetrotrophs don't. Hetrotrophs feed off other living things. e.g. -a plant absorbs sunlight to grow, release and store (so the plant is an autotroph) -a cow then eats the plant and the energy is transferred (so the cow is a hetrotroph) - a human then eats the cow and the energy is, once again, transferred (so the human is a hetrotroph) - the energy is then lost as heat
What is a hetrotrophs?
A hetrotroph is an animal that finds it food, like a human or a cheetah. Instead of making our food (autotroph) we have to search for it.
