Question

How does a heterotroph get energy?

  1. Chemosynthesis
  2. From photosynthesis
  3. From chemosynthesis
  4. They don't need energy

hintHint:

Heterotrophs can't make their own food.

The correct answer is: Chemosynthesis


    Chemosynthesis
    • As heterotrophs can't make their own food, they must eat or absorb it.
    • Chemosynthesis is used in heterotrophs to produce food 
    • The food is produced by using the chemical energy stored in inorganic molecules.

    Chemosynthesis is the process of production of food in heterotrophs by using chemical energy stored in inorganic molecules.
