What do autotrophs and heterotrophs have in common?
Autotrophs and heterotrophs both obtain energy to survive. Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for nutrients. Both play essential roles in ecosystem dynamics.
Why do autotrophs depend on heterotrophs?
heterotrophs and autotrophs depend on each when heterotrophs obtain food by decomposing other organisms. To live, all organisms, including plants, must release the energy in sugars and other compounds.
Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
Are mackerel autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Mackerel are heterotrophs because they obtain their energy by consuming other organisms as they are carnivorous fish. They cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Are fungi autotrphs?
No, fungi are not autotrophs. They are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain their nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment.
What makes upan ecosystem?
Many things such as community and habitat. Autotrophs and Heterotrophs also. Abiotic and Biotic factors are also a huge part of an ecosystem.
How does a heterotorph differ from an autotroph?
They differ in one fundamental way:Autotrophs fix their own energy. (They are the producers of the ecosystem.)Heterotrophs must get their energy from other sources. (They are the consumers, detritivores, or decomposers of the ecosystem.)
Is a producer the source of all the food in an ecosystem?
Kinda, a producer provides food for all the heterotrophs in an ecosystem, a heterotroph being any organism that consume other organisms for energy. However, sunlight provides food for the producer, so indirectly sunlight provides food for an ecosystem.

What might happen to an ecological pyramid of numbers in a forest ecosystem if most of the deer were killed due to hunting by people and disease?
Since deer are first order heterotrophs and if they get hunted or killed then the second order heterotrophs would not have much to eat and would probably die, then the third order heterotrophs would not have anything to eat. There for the numbers of the pyramid would drop drastically.
Why do autotrophs depend on heterotrophs?
heterotrophs and autotrophs depend on each when heterotrophs obtain food by decomposing other organisms. To live, all organisms, including plants, must release the energy in sugars and other compounds.
Are zebras autotrophs or heterotrophs?

Are prey atotrophs or heterotrophs?
Prey are heterotrophs.
Are fungus autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Heterotrophs :D
Is a humam an heterotrophs?
Humans are heterotrophs Plants are autotrophs
Are jellyfish heterotrophics?
Yes, jellyfish are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs eat and are consumers. Jellyfish eat, and are consumers: therefore, they are heterotrophs.
