Any organism that has the ability to create its own food (usually via photosynthesis) and also to consume other organisms for energy is both a heterotroph and an autotroph.
For example, the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) has the ability to photosynthesize, but can supplement its food by consuming insects.
If an organism in Kingdom Protista is heterotrophic, it is most likely in the subkingdom Algae. Algae are photosynthetic protists and are considered autotrophic, but there are some heterotrophic species within this group as well.
Freshwater protists with two flagella that can be photosynthetic or heterotrophic are called euglenoids. They are single-celled organisms that can switch between autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition depending on environmental conditions.
Heterotrophic organisms are ones that get their energy from feeding on to other organisms. Humans is good example a heterotrophic organism
Answer The words "autotrophic" and "heterotrophic" are biological terms describing how an organism metabolyses carbon. Broadly speaking, an autotrophic organism is something like a green plant which metabolyses carbon by photosynthesis and a heterotrophic organism obtains carbon usually by eating an autotrophic organism. As a human, a British soldier would be heterotrophic.
No, E. coli is not a photosynthetic organism. It is a bacterium that obtains energy through other metabolic processes, such as fermentation or respiration.

Heterotrophic
Amoeba are not photosynthetic. They do not have chloroplasts
Freshwater protists with two flagella that can be photosynthetic or heterotrophic are called euglenoids. They are single-celled organisms that can switch between autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition depending on environmental conditions.
Salmonella Typhimurium obtains energy through heterotrophic means. It is a type of bacteria that relies on organic compounds as its energy source, typically deriving nutrients from the host organism it infects. Unlike photosynthetic or chemo-synthetic organisms, Salmonella cannot produce its own energy from sunlight or inorganic substances.
Most Diatoms are Photosynthetic but some have evolved to be heterotrophic
No they are not photosynthetic. They do not have.Plasmodium is a heterotrophic organisms. Only photoautotrphs have chloroplasts.
Heterotrophic- it feeds off the food that is ingested by the organism.
photosynthetic organism.
Dinoflagellates are a diverse group of protists that can be both photosynthetic and heterotrophic. Some species are capable of photosynthesis using chlorophyll, while others rely on feeding on organic matter to obtain nutrients.
An auto-heterotrophic organism is an organism that can switch between being autotrophic (producing its own food through photosynthesis) and heterotrophic (obtaining food from external sources) depending on environmental conditions. This flexibility allows the organism to survive in varied or challenging conditions.
It is the basic photosynthetic pigment.It is in every photosynthetic organism.
