In autotrophic nutrition, organisms are self-reliant. In heterotrophic nutrition, organisms depend on other organisms for food.

<h3>What are the types of nutrition? </h3>

The substances used by living organisms for obtaining energy and the biomolecules that are necessary for carrying out the various functions of the body are called nutrients. Nutrients are required by living organisms for the proper growth, maintenance, and functioning of the body.

The method of fulfilling this demand is different in different types of organisms. Some of them feed on simple inorganic compounds for their nutrient requirements. Others utilize complex compounds. Thus the mode of nutrition is different from one species to another.

There are two main types of nutrition in organisms. These are:

  • Autotrophic mode: In this mode of nutrition, the organisms use simple inorganic matter. These include water and carbon dioxide. These are used in the presence of light and chlorophyll to synthesize food by themselves.
  • Heterotrophic mode: In this mode of nutrition, the organisms depend on other organisms for their nutrition. These organisms cannot produce food by themselves and thus depend on other sources/organisms.

Therefore, in autotrophic nutrition, organisms are self-reliant. In heterotrophic nutrition, organisms depend on other organisms for food.
