Izilwane ziyi-non-autotroph eziyisibopho.
impendulo: umusho olungile
Izilwane ziyi-heterotrophs eyisibopho, okusho ukuthi azikwazi ukuzenzela ukudla.
Zincike kwezinye izinto eziphilayo ukuze zithole ukudla okunomsoco, zithembele ekusetshenzisweni kwezinto eziphilayo ukuze zizuze amandla nokondleka.
Isikhunta singesinye isibonelo se-heterotroph, njengoba zidinga nemithombo yangaphandle yokondleka ukuze ziphile.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-autotroph ayakwazi ukukhiqiza ukudla kwawo nge-photosynthesis noma i-chemosynthesis futhi akudingeki ancike kwezinye izinto eziphilayo.
