Answer:

Most plants, most algae and cyanobacteria kinds of organisms (Autotrophs) can perform photosynthesis while heterotrophs are organisms incapable of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a mechanism used among plants as well as other species to transform energy from the sun into chemical energy which may be released later to power the functions of the species.

In autotrophs (organisms who self prepare there food ) with the support of a subsequent series of light-independent reactions like Calvin cycle, creates long-term energy collection in the form of sugars, while some bacteria use different mechanisms like the reverse Krebs cycle to accomplish the same purpose.

Heterotrophs are entities unable to photosynthesize and, by eating certain species, must therefore obtain energy and carbon from the food. In the term heterotroph: hetero means "other" while troph means "feeder", thus their food depends on other species.

Phototropic organisms can preform photosynthesis.

Heterotrophic organisms  cannot perform synthesis

Explanation:

Phototrophs:

  • Plants, Algae and some bacteria like cyanobacteria perform Photosynthesis to acquire energy. They abssorb energy from the sun to convert into Co2 and water into natural food particles required for the process of biosynthesis and respiration.
  • The presence of chlorophyll makes them eligible for performing photosynthesis.

Heterotrophs:

  • Heterotrophic organisms cannot perform photosynthesis because they are reliant on other organisms for survival. They get energy and carbon by consuming other organisms.
  • Heterotrophic organisms don't possess chlorophyll therefore they are unable to perform photosynthesis.
