Is bacterium a heterotroph?
Some bacteria are heterotrophs, others are autotrophs.
Are all bacteria auottrophs?
no not all of them are autotrophs some of them also heterotrophs and parasites
What is the role of autotrophs and heterotrophs in the cycling of nitrogen through the environment?
Autotrophs get the nitrogen from the soil by the nitrogen fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen to nitrate salts used up by plants while heterotrophs gets them when they consume the autotrophs, making them have some of the nitrates in palnts. Autotrophs and heterotrophs then die and are decomposed by bacteria to recycle the nitrogen in air . Some of those bacteria converts the nitrates into form of nitrogen recycling them into the atmosphere.
Is a cell a heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Autotrophs produce their own food/energy from sunlight. (or some called chemotrophs can get it from heat and chemicals such as certain organisms in deep sea heat vents) Heterotrophs must get food/energy from other heterotrophs or autotrophs. (Cellular respiration) So, a cell capable of photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis is autotrophic... all others are heterotrophic.
How do protista get there food?
Some protista are autotrophic, some heterotrophic. AUTOTROPHS These protista make their food through photosynthesis. HETEROTROPHS A) Feed on [bacteria] through their oral grooves or endocytosis.
Is a human a autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Heterotroph, autotrophs can create their own food (plants and some bacteria). Heterotrophs consume other organisms to aquire their energy and much energy is lost between each level.
What are the characteristics of eubacteria?
some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs. They are related to bacteria.
Is bacterium a heterotroph?
Some bacteria are heterotrophs, others are autotrophs.
Difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?
Autotrophs are those that produce food on their own. Examples of Autotrophs are plants. They produce food on their own from the use of Sunlight, Water and Minerals through Photosynthesis, while Heterotrophs are those that do not produce food on their own. Animals and us, Humans, are Heterotrophs. We need to hunt or grow vegetables in order to eat.
Is archeabacteria autotroph?
Yes all species of acrhaebacteria are autotrophs
Is eukarya autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Eukarya refers to all organisms whose cells have a nucleus. This means that they include fungi (which are heterotrophs), animals (which are heterotrophs), plants (which are autotrophs), and protists (some of which are heterotrophs, some autotrophs).

Are all bacteria auottrophs?
no not all of them are autotrophs some of them also heterotrophs and parasites
Do bacteria make their own food?
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
What is the role of autotrophs and heterotrophs in the cycling of nitrogen through the environment?
Autotrophs get the nitrogen from the soil by the nitrogen fixing bacteria that convert nitrogen to nitrate salts used up by plants while heterotrophs gets them when they consume the autotrophs, making them have some of the nitrates in palnts. Autotrophs and heterotrophs then die and are decomposed by bacteria to recycle the nitrogen in air . Some of those bacteria converts the nitrates into form of nitrogen recycling them into the atmosphere.
How are autotrophs and heterotrophs similar and different?
Autotrophs find their nutrients from inorganic sources, such as carbon dioxide and sunlight. Auto means self, and these organisms, which include such things as plants, make their own food in some sense. Heterotrophs eat other organisms, living or dead. You and I are heterotrophs. "Hetero" means "other", so we depend on other organisms to make their own food, and then we eat them. Both autotrophs and heterotrophs share other characteristics of living organisms, like the ability to reproduce and grow.
Are protista heterotrophs or autotrophs?
Both. Rhodophyta is an autotroph while an amoebae is an heterotroph.
