Example : Plants obtain food by autotrophic nutrition . | Example : Some plants and all animals obtain food by heterotrophic nutrition .
utotrophs are fundamental to the food chains of all ecosystems in the world. They take energy from the environment in the form of sunlight or inorganic chemicals and use it to create energy-rich molecules such as carbohydrates. This mechanism is called primary production.| Other organisms, called heterotrophs, take in autotrophs as food to carry out functions necessary for their life. Thus, heterotrophs — all animals, almost all fungi, as well as most bacteria and protozoa — depend on autotrophs, or primary producers, for the energy and raw materials they need.
Types of Autotrophic nutrition: (i)Phototrophic (ii) Chemotrophic | Types of Heterotrophic nutrition : (i) Holozoic (ii) Saprophytic (iii)Parasitic and (iv) ymboitic Symboitic Association
