Explain the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition, and provide examples of organisms for each.
Autotrophic is when organisms make their own food (plants), and heterotrophic is when organisms obtain their food from the environment (humans).
500

Explain the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction. Be sure to mention how many parents are involved in each, and whether the offspring are different or identical.
Asexual reproduction is 1 parent and genetically identical offspring, sexual reproduction is two parents and genetically different offspring.
