What are Heterotroph and Homotroph?

Answer 1

Homotrophs are organisms that can provide their own food. An example would be a plant. They undergo photosynthesis, so they don't have to actually eat anything. Everything it needs is made by cells within it.

Answer 2

A heterotroph is any organism that requires organic subtrates in order to survive.

This contrasts with autotrophs, such as plants, algae and some bacteria, that can use energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) or inorganic compounds to produce organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxide.

Humans are a good example of heterotrophs. That's why we eat a lot of plants.

It is referring to the consumers in the food chain, such as animals,fungi and many bacteria. More scientifically, it's the life form that uses organic carbon for growth. This contrasts with autotrophs, which are the producers, mainly plants, in the food chain.

Answer 3

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy. Homotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Answer 4

ok its pretty clear that homotroph makes his own food like what some plants do but heterotroph does the opposite, he depends on their food and consumes it

Answer 5

what is antotroph
