Almost all animals are heterotrophs. Very few are autotrophs, and they usually not studied.

So, for all practical purposes (unless you're in a college-level Biology class), all animals are heterotrophs.

Answer 3

No, vertebrates are not autotrophs, they are heterotrophs. They cannot make their own food from light, nor can they use carbon dioxide. Because vertebrates have to obtain their food and produce carbon dioxide, they are known as heterotrophs.

Answer 4
