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
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.
Autotroph. Autotrophs make their own food using photosynthesis, which needs chlorophyll
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.
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.
All plants are autotrophs, even carnivorous plants such as Venus fly traps.
autotrophs
no,they are not autotrophs
green plants are considered autotrophs.
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).
The Kingdom Plantae only contains autotrophs.
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.

Autotrophic nutrition requires Carbon dioxide (as in most cases). Some autotrophs don't require Carbon dioxide...
Eating and drinking, for heterotrophs and photosynthesis and other autotrophic behavior for autotrophs.
autotrophic animals are different from heterotrophs because autotrophs produce their own food by photosynthesis while heterotrophs move around in search of food
African Violets are plants and make their own food, so they are autotrophs.
Algae are autotrophs. They are able to make their own food through photosynthesis.
