Want this question answered?
They are heterotrophic because they get their nutrients from complex organic substances.
autotrophs
Organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs.
autotrophs are green plants, algae, etc.
As autotrophs make their food by the process of photosynthesis and human do not.
They are heterotrophic because they get their nutrients from complex organic substances.
autotrophs
autotrophs use energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make their food
Autotrophs make their own food. An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). Green plants are autotrophs that use photosynthesis to make their food. Some bacteria are examples of autotrophs that use chemosynthesis to make their food.
Humans do make their own food. Humans are consumers which gather and prepare their own food. However, humans are not producers, or autotrophs (self-feeding), that produce complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances.
There are a number of substances that autotrophs or producers use to make food. The main ones include sunlight, chlorophyll and carbon dioxide.
Autotrophs are organisms that are able to manufacture their food from simple inorganic substances,they are also called producers.
Producers or autotrophs can make their own food.
An autotroph is an organism that can create nutritional substances from simple inorganic substances, like a plant that undergoes photosynthesis. As a whale cannot do this, no, they are not autotrophs, they are heterotrophs.
Autotrophs because they make their food by their own
No, not all algae are autotrophs. There are some that are autotrophs whereas there are others that are heterotrophs. Autotrophs refers to the members of the animal kingdom that make their own food.
No those are heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food.
