Step 1

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, are organisms that cannot produce their own food and Show more…

Key Concepts

Nutritional Modes

The classification of organisms based on their method of obtaining energy and carbon, which broadly divides life into autotrophs, who create their own food, and heterotrophs, who acquire it from external sources.

Photosynthesis

A key biochemical process used by many autotrophs to convert light energy into chemical energy, facilitating the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water.

Autotrophs

Organisms that produce their own food from inorganic substances, typically using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, making them self-sustaining sources of organic compounds.

Heterotrophs

Organisms that cannot synthesize their own food and must rely on the intake of organic compounds produced by other organisms to obtain energy and carbon.
