| 31. | While zoanthids are less efficient heterotrophs, they produce more energy photosynthetically due to their lack of a calcified skeleton.
|
| 32. | However, the question is still left open, as the plant is in any case not a myco-heterotroph.
|
| 33. | Some plants, known as myco-heterotrophs, parasitize mycorrhizal fungi, and hence act as epiparasites on other plants.
|
| 34. | Carnivorous organisms rely on autotrophs indirectly, as the nutrients obtained from their heterotroph prey come from autotrophs they have consumed.
|
| 35. | This indicates that the ciliate is primarily an heterotroph, but after acquiring algal plastid, it transforms into an autotroph.
|
| 36. | Most heterotrophs are chemoorganoheterotrophs ( or simply organotrophs ) who utilize organic compounds both as a carbon source and an energy source.
|
| 37. | Fungi are scavenging heterotrophs and spread much more quickly than do plants ( which tend to stay rooted in one location ).
|
| 38. | These reduced carbon compounds can be used as an energy source by the autotroph and provide the energy in food consumed by heterotrophs.
|
| 39. | Thus, " D . acuminata " is a mixotroph, primarily a heterotroph, but autotroph once it acquires plastids.
|
| 40. | Species are broadly categorized as autotrophs ( or primary producers ), heterotrophs ( or consumers ), and Detritivores ( or decomposers ).
