Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their own food. They have to depend on other plants and animals for nutrition.

Is a proteose a heterotrophic or autotrophic nutrition?

Proteose is a type of nutrient that is derived from protein breakdown, and it can be absorbed by organisms that obtain their nutrition through heterotrophic means, meaning they rely on organic sources for nutrients. Autotrophic organisms, on the other hand, are able to produce their own nutrients using inorganic sources like sunlight.


Do fungus have chloroplast or not?

No. Chloroplasts are only present in plants and some protists. Chloroplasts make plants autotrophic by allowing producing their own food, whereas fungi are heterotrophic, where they release enzymes to break down nutrients from the environment and absorb that broken down food. No


What is heterophic nutrition?

Heterotrophic nutrition is a mode of nutrition in which organisms obtain their food by consuming other living organisms or organic matter. Unlike autotrophs, which produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, heterotrophs rely on the ingestion of plants, animals, or decomposed materials. This type of nutrition is common in animals, fungi, and many bacteria, highlighting the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Heterotrophs play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and energy flow within ecological systems.
