Anaerobic heterotrophs are organisms that rely on external sources of organic compounds for both energy and carbon. They do not require oxygen for metabolism and can survive in environments where oxygen is absent or in low concentrations. Examples include certain types of bacteria and archaea that obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter through fermentation or anaerobic respiration.
- Anaerobic organisms can live without free oxygen.
- Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food.
- Therefore and anaerobic heterotroph can live w/o free oxygen but cannot produce its own food.
Anaerobic photoautotrophs are related to cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue green algae) that carry out photosynthesis, the process in which light energy powers the transfer of electrons from inorganis donors to CO2 yielding carbohydrates [(CH2O)n].
This is the basis of the theory that try to explain how the O2 was generated in the Earth's atmosphere.
Phototrophic heterotrophs are organisms which only depend on light for their energy. They produce ATP through the process of photophosphorylation.

What is the answer for eats other heterotrophs?
Heterotrophs are living things that have to eat other living things to survive. That would be an animal, since plants make their own food.Heterotrophs that eat other heterotrophs would be animals that eat other animals. Heterotrophs that eat only other heterotrophs would be a carnivore. If the heterotroph eats both heterotrophs (animals) and autotrophs (plants), that would describe an omnivore.
What are Heterotrophs are also known as?
heterotrophs are also known as 'other feeders' Heterotrophs are also known as parasites or saprophytes depending on their mode of getting food.
What do heterotrophs use water for?
Heterotrophs use water to break the bonds to make energy.
Are lunges aerobic or anaerobic?
Anaerobic
Are stromatolites anaerobic or areboic?
they are aerobically anaerobic
Why do scientists think the first living cells to spear on earth were pobably anaerobic heterotrophs?
there was no oxygen in Earth's early atmosphere.
Why do scientists think the first living cells to appear on earth were probably anaerobic heterotraphs?
Scientists believe that the first living cells on Earth were likely anaerobic heterotrophs because early Earth lacked oxygen, and these organisms do not require oxygen for their metabolism. Anaerobic heterotrophs can obtain the carbon compounds they need for energy from organic molecules in their environment, making them well-suited for the conditions of early Earth.

Heterotrophs :D
Are prey atotrophs or heterotrophs?
Prey are heterotrophs.
Is a humam an heterotrophs?
Humans are heterotrophs Plants are autotrophs
Are jellyfish heterotrophics?
Yes, jellyfish are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs eat and are consumers. Jellyfish eat, and are consumers: therefore, they are heterotrophs.
