Answer 1

Answer;

C. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugars.

Explanation;

-Organisms are divided into autotrophs and heterotrophs according to their energy pathways. Autotrophs are those organisms that are able to make energy-containing organic molecules from inorganic raw material by using basic energy sources such as sunlight. Plants are the prime example of autotrophs, using photosynthesis.

-All other organisms must make use of food that comes from other organisms in the form of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. These organisms which feed on others are called heterotrophs.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The statement that is true about autotrophs, but not heterotrophs, is that they use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugars. An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food. They are called producers.
