Everything depends on autotrophs for food directly, but herbivores and omnivores are more immediately dependent on them.
Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.
Autotrophs because they make their food by their own
By consuming autotrophs.
No those are heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food.
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot synthesize its own food where as autotrophs can synthesize their own food. So heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for food. For example a cow (heterotroph) eats grass (autotroph).
They are AUTOTROPHS (make their own food).
They are AUTOTROPHS (make their own food).
autotrophs for A+ users
Animals like herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores rely on autotrophs for their food energy. Fungi, such as decomposers like mushrooms, also depend on autotrophs as a food source by breaking down organic matter produced by autotrophs.
autotrophs use energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make their food
Some autotrophs/producers are: Wheat Fungi Algae Cacti Trees Shrubs They are made autotrophs because they can produce their own food.
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis). They are able to convert these energy sources into organic compounds that can be used as nutrients for growth and development. This ability allows autotrophs to sustain themselves without needing to consume other organisms for food.
