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 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.


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?

Autotrophs gather energy directly from the sun. Herbivores eat plants.


What are differences between heterotroph and autotroph?

Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.


How do you classifly organisms that do not eat other organisms?

Organisms that do not eat other organisms are classified as autotrophs. Autotrophs are able to produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and they do not rely on consuming other living organisms for nutrition. Examples of autotrophs include plants, some types of bacteria, and algae.
