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.

RafaAutotrophic 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
Autotrophic nutrition is a type of nutrition where organisms can produce their own food using simple inorganic substances like carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight through photosynthesis. Holophytic nutrition refers to a specific type of autotrophic nutrition where organisms can make complex organic compounds from simple inorganic substances; photosynthetic plants are examples of organisms with holophytic nutrition. In summary, holophytic nutrition is a subset of autotrophic nutrition.
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

Is proteobacteria Autotrophic or Heterotrophic?
Proteobacteria are typically heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their energy by consuming organic compounds. However, some proteobacteria are also capable of being mixotrophic, meaning they can switch between autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition.
The main difference between the fungi kingdom and the plant kingdom is what?
The main difference is that fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrition by absorbing organic matter from their environment, while plants are autotrophic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis. Additionally, fungi do not have chlorophyll like plants do, which is necessary for photosynthesis.
What is the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutritions and highlight the main reactions taking place in autotrophic nutrition?
Autotrophic nutrition involves organisms that can produce their own food using inorganic compounds and an external energy source, like sunlight. On the other hand, heterotrophic nutrition involves organisms that rely on external sources of organic compounds for nourishment. In autotrophic nutrition, the main reactions taking place include photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This process involves light-dependent reactions (such as capturing light energy) and light-independent reactions (such as carbon fixation).
What is the difference between a heterotrophic and a autotrophic?
Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming organic compounds from other organisms, while autotrophs can produce their own energy through processes such as photosynthesis. Autotrophs are able to convert sunlight into energy, while heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for nutrients.
What is the different between autotrophic and autotrophs?
Heterotrophic means obtaining ready made organic food from the environment and Autotrophic means manufacturing food from inorganic compounds usually carbon dioxide, water using a source of energy Autotrophic nutrition is a process where plants make food by combining large complex organic molecules such as starch, lipids and protein with simple inorganic molecules like water, carbon dioxide and minerals.
