1.) Compare the roles of oxygen and carbon dioxide in autotrophs and heterotrophs. Which organism is an oxygen consumer and carb
wariber [46]

Oxygen is used by both autotrophs and heterotrophs to release energy from glucose (as we know, the bonds between organic compounds can be used to release energy) in a process known as cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide, however, is predominantly used in autotrophs to perform photosynthesis because they cannot get their food any other way. The type of organism that is both an oxygen producer and carbon dioxide consumer is an autotroph. This is because they release oxygen during photosynthesis and require carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis.
