|
Heterotrophs obtain food through the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-1: -A major difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs is that the former are able to make their own food by photosynthesis whereas the latter cannot. Photosynthesis is a process that involves making glucose (a sugar) and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide using energy from sunlight.
Detailed explanation-2: -chemoheterotrophs. Heterotrophs consume other organisms to get their energy to survive, that is they obtain their carbon from organic compounds. They may be classified into two major groups: (1) photoheterotrophs and (2) chemoheterotrophs. Basically, photoheterotrophs use light energy whereas chemoheterotrophs do not.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heterotrophs-These organisms cannot prepare their own food and depends on other organisms for their food. They feed on the complex organic molecules prepared by the autotrophs. They generate energy through the process of respiration and release carbon dioxide.
