Which of the following characteristics differentiates an autotroph from a heterotroph? an autotroph can only obtain its energy from a heterotroph. a heterotroph can only obtain its energy from an autotroph. an autotroph must obtain its energy from a heterotroph or other autotroph.. heterotrophs only obtain their energy from the sun. a heterotroph must obtain its energy from an autotroph or other heterotroph. autotrophs only obtain their energy from the sun. which of the following characteristics differentiates an autotroph from a heterotroph? an autotroph can only obtain its energy from a heterotroph. a heterotroph can only obtain its energy from an autotroph. an autotroph must obtain its energy from a heterotroph or other autotroph.. heterotrophs only obtain their energy from the sun. a heterotroph must obtain its energy from an autotroph or other heterotroph. autotrophs only obtain their energy from the sun.

A heterotroph is dependent on autotroph or other heterotroph for its energy whereas Autotrophs are dependent on Sun for their energy.

Based upon the nutrition mode, the living organisms are classified as autotrophs and heterotrophs. The organism which has the ability to prepare its own food are called heterotrophs, whereas the organism which is dependent on autotrophs and other animals are called as heterotrophs.

Basically plant are called as autotrophs as they prepare their own food with help of sunlight, and water due to the presence of chlorophyll by process called photosynthesis.  

Animals and human beings are called as heterotrophs as they don't have ability to prepare their own food and in turn is dependent on plant and other animals.

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is; ///mendelian genes are at specific loci on the chromosome and, in turn, segregate during meiosis;

"a.) well–developed vascular system."
