Name and describe the attributes of the two categories into which all organisms can be divided based on how they obtain nutrition
What will be an ideal response?
The two categories that organisms can be divided into (based on nutrition source) are autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs "produce the organic compounds they need to survive and grow. Green plants, photosynthetic single-celled organisms, and chemosynthetic bacteria are autotrophs." Heterotrophs, on the other hand, include all other organisms that "feed on organic matter as their source of energy."
