Definición
Inglés
:
The processes by which organisms utilize
organic substances
as their nutrient sources. Contrasts with
AUTOTROPHIC PROCESSES
which make use of simple
inorganic substances
as the nutrient
supply
source. Heterotrophs can be either chemoheterotrophs (or chemoorganotrophs) which also require
organic substances
such as
glucose
for their primary metabolic
energy
requirements, or photoheterotrophs (or photoorganotrophs) which derive their primary
energy
requirements from light. Depending on environmental conditions some organisms can switch between different nutritional modes (AUTOTROPHY; heterotrophy; chemotrophy; or PHOTOTROPHY) to utilize different sources to meet their
nutrients
and
energy
requirements.
