Can't heterotrophs synthesize organic matter? Are organisms that can synthesize organic matter autotrophs? Please explain in detail.
Any living thing has the ability to synthesize organic matter. This process is called assimilation, which is one of the basic characteristics of living things.

The performance is that any living thing can grow in size.

The so-called heterotrophic and autotrophic are just different raw materials and energy sources needed to synthesize their own ingredients.

It's like if we eat sugar, some of it will be converted into fat and stored.

Therefore, whether organic matter can be synthesized is not the criterion for judging autotrophic heterotrophy.

His criterion is only one: whether energy is organic (decomposing other organic substances such as eating meat and vegetables) or non-organic (such as light).
