Some are autothroph (purple sulfur bacteria, cyanobacteria), but many aren`t.
Auto-self Hetero-another Troph-feeder Therefor, the auto + the troph makes it something that produces it's own food, or self feeding. The Hetero + the troph makes it one who feeds of of others. The "troph" relates both to feeding, while the "hetero" and "auto" make them different. Hope this helps.
A troph that can make food is called an "autotroph." Autotrophs, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, using inorganic substances and energy sources from their environment. This ability allows them to convert sunlight or chemical energy into organic compounds, serving as the foundation of the food chain in ecosystems.
Frogs, being animals, are heterotrophs.An autotroph (Greek- auto=self, troph=nutrition), such as a plant, makes its own food through the process of photo- or chemosynthesis, which a frog does not do- a frog is a heterotroph (Greek- hetero=other, troph=nutriotion), which means it has other means of receiving its food, for instance the frog, that gains its nutrition from eating other organisms.
Viruses (e.g. colds and flu), auto-immune diseases, and most forms of cancer are just a few examples of diseases that are not caused by bacteria.
autotroph which means they can make their own food and heterotroph which means they can't make their own food

"Troph" is a combining form derived from Greek, meaning "nourishment" or "food." It is often used in scientific terminology to refer to things related to nutrition or growth.
"Auto" in autotroph means self, and "troph" means feeder. Therefore, an autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, relying on inorganic substances as a source of nutrients.
Auto = self, troph = eating. Autotrophs are plants, able to feed themselves through photosynthesis. Plants don't generally move, though there are some exceptions and they can of course disperse through seeds.
The word part "troph" comes from the Greek word "trophē," meaning nourishment or growth. It is commonly used in scientific terms related to nutrition, growth, and development.
