Question

Autotrophs can be differentiated from the heterotrophs in terms of the:

• A. Mode of obtaining food
• B. Nature of the cell, i.e. prokaryotic or eukaryotic
• C. Organization of the body or cell of that organism
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mode of obtaining food

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using light energy through photosynthesis or by using chemical energy through the process of chemosynthesis.

Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and are dependent on other organisms for nutrition.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
