GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -There are no animals that could be considered autotrophic. Examples of organisms that are autotrophic are plants and algae, and they have specialized cell organelles that have the ability to power the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which organisms are both autotrophs and heterotrophs? Cyanobacteria are organisms that are both autotrophs and heterotrophs. They exhibit photoautotrophic nutrition. Archaea is another example of organisms that are both autotrophs and heterotrophs.
