some protist, bacteria, and archaea are autotrophs too

plus note
an organism can be both an autotroph and heterotroph
ex. euglena
4
New cards
photoautotrophs
ex. plant
uses light as an energy source
5
New cards
chemoautotrophs
their energy source is chemicals
no light required
there are also chemoheterotrophs
6
New cards
photoheterotrophs
energy source is light
found is a few types of prokaryotes
