autotroph which means they can make their own food and heterotroph which means they can't make their own food
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.
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.
auto must be meaning automatic,they can make there own food and trophic must be ecology of or involving the feeding habits or food relationship of different organisms in a food chain. by sharandeep bose
They use photosynthesis which means they get their food from the sun.
autotroph which means they can make their own food and heterotroph which means they can't make their own food
Troph is not latin, trophe is greek and means "nutrition"
Plants are called autotrophs because they make their own food with the help of carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll and sunlight.

"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.

"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.
A photoautotroph is when an organism is able to create its own food from sunlight. Photo means light and troph refers to the word "feeder". When the word is broken down it is much easier to understand.
