bacteria cannot make its own food because scientists think they arent alive
Because they cannot photosynthesise.
Organisms that cannot make their own food are called heterotrophs.Most categories of organisms, excepting green plants and some bacteria, are heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs are the organisms that cannot make their own food. An organism that makes its own food is called an autotroph. Autotrophs, such as plants, make their food through the photosynthesis process.

flatworms cannot make their own food.
Organisms that cannot make their own food are called consumers.
Organisms that cannot produce their own food are called heterotrophs. They must obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Consumers are organisms that cannot make their own food.
Some bacteria are heterotrophs and cannot make their own food. Instead, Heterotrophic bacteria must consume other organisms or the food that other organisms make. Heterotrophic bacteria may consume a variety of foods--from milk and meat, which you might also eat, to the decaying leaves on a forest floor
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).
Bacteria that have the ability to create their own food through photosynthesis are called phototrophic bacteria. They use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Examples include cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
