Question

We make our own food in the kitchen. This means that humans are also autotrophs. Do you agree? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Humans can not synthesize their own food; therefore, they are heterotrophs. We make our own food in the kitchen but the raw materials that we use to cook the food are either obtained from plants or from animals. Thus, humans, directly or indirectly, depend upon plants for their food. For example, we cook vegetables obtained from plants and meat obtained from animals.
