1
Q
what do autotrophs use?
A
use light energy to synthesise organic molecules from inorganic substances
2
Q

plants
3
Q
what do chemo-autotrophs use?
A
use energy from the breakdown of inorganic substances to synthesise organic molecules

Q
where do chemo-autotrophs live?
A
in hydrothermal vents
5
Q
what do heterotrophs do?
A
obtain organic molecules from other organisms, generally by feeding on them
6
Q
what do heterotophs provide?
A
they provide materials that heterotrophs use to make essential molecules in their own body
7
