Heterotrophic means obtaining ready made organic food from the environment and Autotrophic means manufacturing food from inorganic compounds usually carbon dioxide, water using a source of energy
Autotrophic nutrition is a process where plants make food by combining large complex organic molecules such as starch, lipids and protein with simple inorganic molecules like water, carbon dioxide and minerals.
Example: plants
Hetrotrophic nutrition is where organism feed on organic substances that have been made by other organisms.
Examples are animals and fungi
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a heterotrophic and a autotrophic?
Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming organic compounds from other organisms, while autotrophs can produce their own energy through processes such as photosynthesis. Autotrophs are able to convert sunlight into energy, while heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for nutrients.
Is carbon fixation related to heterotroph or autotrophic?
Autotroph. Autotrophs make their own food using photosynthesis, which needs chlorophyll
Which protist has structures that are characteristic of both autotrophs and heterotrophs?
Euglena is a protist that has structures characteristic of both autotrophs and heterotrophs. It contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis like autotrophs, but can also absorb nutrients from its environment like heterotrophs. This allows Euglena to switch between being autotrophic and heterotrophic depending on its environmental conditions.
What is the scientific and common name of autotrophic bacteria?
The scientific name for autotrophic bacteria is "Autotrophs" and the common name is "Self-feeding bacteria." Autotrophic bacteria are able to synthesize their own food using inorganic compounds, sunlight, or chemical reactions.
Is butterwort autotrophic plant or heterotrophic plant?
All plants are autotrophs, even carnivorous plants such as Venus fly traps.
Are trees autotrophic or heterotrophic?
autotrophs
Are dogs autotrophic?
no,they are not autotrophs
What is a sentence for autotrophic?
green plants are considered autotrophs.
Are lilies autotrophic or hetrotrophic?
Autotrophs simply 'self feed'. Sunflowers are photo-autotrophs. Like all plants, they need the sun as an energy source, to grow and process their food (starches etc).
Which Kingdoms contain only autotrophs?
The Kingdom Plantae only contains autotrophs.
What is the difference between a heterotrophic and a autotrophic?
Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming organic compounds from other organisms, while autotrophs can produce their own energy through processes such as photosynthesis. Autotrophs are able to convert sunlight into energy, while heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for nutrients.
Is carbon fixation related to heterotroph or autotrophic?
Autotroph. Autotrophs make their own food using photosynthesis, which needs chlorophyll
Does autotrophic nutrition need carbon dioxide?
Autotrophic nutrition requires Carbon dioxide (as in most cases). Some autotrophs don't require Carbon dioxide...
What are ways obtaining energy?
Eating and drinking, for heterotrophs and photosynthesis and other autotrophic behavior for autotrophs.
How do Autotroph's differ from heterotrophs?
autotrophic animals are different from heterotrophs because autotrophs produce their own food by photosynthesis while heterotrophs move around in search of food
Are African violets autotrophic or heterotrophic?
African Violets are plants and make their own food, so they are autotrophs.
Are algae autotroph or heterotroph?
Algae are autotrophs. They are able to make their own food through photosynthesis.
