Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. Dogs, birds, fish, and humans are all examples of heterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes. Fun fact! Photosynthesis by microorganisms called cyanobacteria is what put oxygen into the Earth’s atmosphere in the first place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are common to both plant and animal cells.
