What is the difference between autotrophic and holophytic nutrition?

Answer 1

Holophytic and autotrophic nutrition are almost the same thing. Photoautrophs can be called holophytes, which is most autotrophs, but some autotrophs produce food by chemical synthesis, i.e. not in the presence of sunlight. They are chemoautrophs and not holophytes.

Similarly, holotrophic and heterotrophic are almost the same. All heterotrophs which are not saprophytic or parasitic are holotrophs as well.

Answer 2

Autotrophic nutrition is a proess where plants make food by combining large complex organic molecules such as starch, lipids,and protein from simple inorganic molecules like water, carbon dioxide and minerals.

Example: plants

Hetrotrophic nutrition is where organism feed on organic substances that have been made by other organisms.

Examples are animals and fungi

Answer 3

Autotrophs are organisms like green plants which make their own food, hetertrophics are organisms like animals which need to make ready-made organic food, I know this is reliable because we have just covered it in Biology lesson at school.

Answer 4

Autotrophic nutrition:-

It is the mode of nutrition in which an organisms makes its own food from the simple inorganic materials like co2 and h2o with the help of sunlight

examples are plants and autotrophic bacteria

Heterotrophic nutrition:-

It is the mode of nutrition in which an organism cannot make it's own food from simple inorganic materials like co2 and h2o and depends on other organisms for it's food

Examples are animals, most bacteria and fungi
