The body cannot manufacture the following substances that food provides -
vitamins
minerals
proteins
fat
carbohydrate
water
Fungi
An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, usually plant or animal matter. All animals, protozoans, fungi, and most bacteria are heterotrophs.
Indigestible food refers to substances in our diet that cannot be broken down or absorbed by our digestive system. These include fiber, cellulose, and certain types of sugars that pass through the gastrointestinal tract largely unchanged and provide benefits like promoting bowel regularity. Consumption of indigestible food can help with digestion and overall gut health.
They are called autotrophs (or producers). Plants and algae are the primary autotrophs on the planet. This is in contrast to heterotrophs (consumers), which feed on autotrophs and cannot create their own food (internally, that is).
No chlrophyll manufactures food (glucose) by photosynthesis
Fungi
yes they are because organisms that cannot manufacture their own food like autotrophs
plants and agae can manufacture their own food animals cannot
It cannot synthesise its own food and is dependent on organic substances for nutrition
All food contains complex substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The body cannot utilise these substances in their complex form. The food consumed is broken down into simpler substances by a procedss called digestion. The digested food can be easily absorbed by the body.
It cannot Break down Urea
Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are macronutrients that provide energy to the body. When these substances are broken down through digestion, they release energy that is used by our cells for various functions.

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their own food. They have to depend on other plants and animals for nutrition.

In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)
