autotroph which means they can make their own food and heterotroph which means they can't make their own food
Auto-self Hetero-another Troph-feeder Therefor, the auto + the troph makes it something that produces it's own food, or self feeding. The Hetero + the troph makes it one who feeds of of others. The "troph" relates both to feeding, while the "hetero" and "auto" make them different. Hope this helps.
Frogs, being animals, are heterotrophs.An autotroph (Greek- auto=self, troph=nutrition), such as a plant, makes its own food through the process of photo- or chemosynthesis, which a frog does not do- a frog is a heterotroph (Greek- hetero=other, troph=nutriotion), which means it has other means of receiving its food, for instance the frog, that gains its nutrition from eating other organisms.
auto must be meaning automatic,they can make there own food and trophic must be ecology of or involving the feeding habits or food relationship of different organisms in a food chain. by sharandeep bose
producer means to make its own food, like a plant.
autotroph which means they can make their own food and heterotroph which means they can't make their own food
Troph is not latin, trophe is greek and means "nutrition"
Plants are called autotrophs because they make their own food with the help of carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll and sunlight.

A photoautotroph is when an organism is able to create its own food from sunlight. Photo means light and troph refers to the word "feeder". When the word is broken down it is much easier to understand.
organisms that are unable to produce food by themselves. Plants are not heterotrophs, they on the other hand are autotrophs. The word hetero means other and troph means feeder. Auto means self. Heretrotrphs often produce energy by cellular respiration (the opposite of photosynthesis)
