Is a bacteria a heterotroph or an autotroph and explain why?

do you know what the difference is between the two? An autotroph produces its own food source, by processes like photosynthesis while heterotrophs, to put it simply, eat things.

yes i do and i just need an explanation for it being an autotroph

Are you studying for a biology test or something?

yes lol

i would look for organelles associated with photosynthesis or chemosynthesis

bacteria is heterotrophic because the cells pull it in

also, autotrophs only require carbon dioxide as their source of carbon whereas heterotrophs require an organic source of carbon, like glucose

It’s an autotroph – in biology, an organism capable of synthesizing its own organic substances from inorganic compounds, is an autotroph – and bacteria fits that criterion.

some bacteria are heterotrophs and some are autotrophs. the answer to this question is quite simple but i will not answer it because you are clearly an immature person looking to get their homework completed by a total stranger on-line.
