a. Autotrophs, but not heterotrophs, can nourish themselves beginning with CO2 and other nutrients that are inorganic.
b. Only heterotrophs require chemical compounds from the environment.
c. Cellular respiration is unique to heterotrophs.
d. Only heterotrophs have mitochondria.

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here we have a question asking which one of the fallen can survive in an exclusively inorganic environment so hetero troops cannot make their own food. They have to break down organic material so it isn't A. B. D. Composers. D. Composers also are like fungus. They have to break down organic material for food. De parasites require an organic host, so our answer isn't D. But autotrophs can live in an organic environment because they only use carbon dioxide and water, so that is all they need to form organic compounds. So our answer here is see autotrophs. Thank you for watching. Bye.
