The group of organisms that only include autotrophs?
the protists
Are plantae autotrophs?
yes they are autotrophic, as plants photosythesise to create their own food.
Are plants heterotrophs?
Fungi are heterotrophic but not plants .
Are plants the only orgnism in an ecosystem than can produce their own food?
Although this is a common misconception, plants are not the only organisms that make their own food. Organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs, and they include plants, but also include some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria. There are also some types of fungi that are autotrophs.
Organisms that produce their own food are?
Usually plants and they are known as autotrophs or autotrophic.
Do sheep hunt for food?
Sheep are herbivores, meaning they eat only autotrophs (plants). They normally eat grass.
What Kingdoms contain only autotrophs?
The only Kingdom to have only autotrophes would have to be the Kingdom Planae. This kingdom consists of all land plants. I hope this helped :)
What do omnivore eat?
An Omnivore eats plants (autotrophs) and other animals (heterotrophs). Example of Omnivores are humans.
Do heterotrophs support autotrophs in the food chain?
No, Autotrophs are producers that make their own food for example plants using light for photosynthesis. Heterotrophs eat the autotrophs, so really autotrophs support the heterotrophs in the cycle.
The group of organisms that only include autotrophs?

Are plants autotrophs?
yes they make there own food.
Difference beteween autotrophy and a heterotroph?
Heterotrophs cannot make their own food and, thus, depend on autotrophs for food by directly eating plants (herbivores) or indirectly (carnivores eat herbivores/meat only - and omnivores eat both meat and plants). Autotrophs go through both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Heterotrophs only go through cellular respiration and cannot photosynthesize.
What are autotrophs - impalas plants mushrooms leopards?
plants - autotrophs make their own food
Do heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for there survival?
That is a complicated question. The short answer would be some do. Any animal that eats plants is a heterotroph that depends on autotrophs for survival. In reality, every heterotroph depends on autotrophs for their survival. Any carnivorous animal will die out fairly quickly if there is no pray to eat, and animals who eat plants are the vast majority of prey.
Why does the food chain end with plants?
Except for Venus flytraps and other plants of such kind, because plants are autotrophs and don't eat other organisms.
What animals eats that plant?
Organisms that get their food from light (such as plants,) or minerals are called autotrophs. Organisms that only eat plants are called herbivores.Organisms that eat animals are called carnivores.Organisms that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores.So, carnivores and omnivores eat herbivores and other omnivores.
Which type of organism produces energy from sunlight?
Autotrophs gather energy directly from the sun. Herbivores eat plants.
