    Study Notes

    Heterotrophs

    • Organisms that rely on organic carbon for nutrition.

    Autotrophs

    • Utilize inorganic carbon, specifically carbon dioxide, for growth.
    • Capable of transforming inorganic carbon into organic forms through carbon fixation.

    Photoautotrophs

    • Depend on sunlight as their energy source.
    • Utilize carbon dioxide as their primary carbon source.

    Photoheterotrophs

    • Acquire energy from sunlight.
    • Use organic compounds as their source of carbon.

    Chemolithoautotrophs

    • Derive energy from inorganic chemicals.
    • Utilize carbon dioxide as their carbon source.
