heterotrophs
Bacteria that have the ability to create their own food through photosynthesis are called phototrophic bacteria. They use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Examples include cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
Bacteria are actually living organisms. Like people or animals, they can't make their own food, like plants, so they consume food from outside sources.
An organism that can make its own food is known as an autotroph. Autotrophs use energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis) to produce their own food, typically in the form of glucose. Plants, algae, and some bacteria are examples of autotrophs.
Some bacteria(not all) are autotrophic bacteria which means that they can make their own food.These bacteria can be separated into two groupsphotosynthetic bacteriachemosynthetic bacteriaphotosynthetic bacteria contains bacteriochlorophyll which is dispersed in their cytoplasm and so they are able to make their organic food by the process of photosynthesis.e.g green sulphur bacteria,purple sulphur bacteria etcchemosynthetic bacteria oxidize inorganic compounds like ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,sulphur or iron and trap the energy and prepare their food.e.g nitrifying bacteria are chemosynthetic.
Organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs.
bacteria cannot make its own food because scientists think they arent alive
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).

Some do some don't
Some bacteria, called autotrophs, make their own food from the carbon in CO2. Most bacteria are heterotrophs, taking their food 'ready-made' from other sources.
Some bacteria are autotrophs and make their own food. Autotrophic bacteria make food in one of two ways. Some capture and use the sun's energy as plants do. Others, such as bacteria that live deep in mud, do not use the sun's energy. Instead, these bacteria use the energy from chemicals substances in their environment to make their food.
Because they cannot photosynthesise.
It depends on the type. Most bacteria must obtain nourishment but some are capable of photosynthesis.
No group of animals make their own food. Only plants and some bacteria do.
somme bacteria have chlorophyll and are able to make their own food like green plants do
Organisms that cannot make their own food are called heterotrophs.Most categories of organisms, excepting green plants and some bacteria, are heterotrophs.
