Par opposition (aux végétaux autotrophes), l'homme et les animaux ont un besoin absolu d'aliments organiques. Ils les trouvent dans le corps des êtres vivants ou morts qu'ils consomment. On les dit hétérotrophes [...]. Par rapport à leurs propres constituants, leur capacité de synthèse est moindre que celle qui caractérise les autotrophes. Les hétérotrophes ont un besoin absolu de substances organiques tandis que l'autotrophie est pour les autotrophes une capacité et non une nécessité [...] 3, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9t%C3%A9rotrophe
