no, a consumer consumes food. Generally, a consumer eats other consumers or producers. The only level in the ecosystem that can produce their own food are the producers, mainly plants. All other organisms have to consume food.

Humans, like all animals, are heterotrophic. They can't synthesize their own food and have to eat other organisms to survive.
An animal that produces its own food is called an autotroph. For example plants
Humans, like all animals, are heterotrophic. They can't synthesize their own food and have to eat other organisms to survive.
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food. Humans, as well as all other animals are consumers, because they have to eat other animals or plants for energy. Fungi and bacteria are also heterotroph, because they feed on decomposing matter (they use this matter as food to produce energy).
Humans do make their own food. Humans are consumers which gather and prepare their own food. However, humans are not producers, or autotrophs (self-feeding), that produce complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances.
Humans grow, hunt and process food, we bake and cook, isn't that making our own food ?
Heterotrophic organisms do not make their own food. Example: Humans.
Animals and humans do not contain chlorophyll and can not make their own food!
Organisms that can create their own food but do not produce seeds or spores are green algae and cyanobacteria. They use photosynthesis to generate their own food from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
i think you mean autotroph. it means an organism that makes its own food. a plant would be autotrophic because it uses photosynthesis to create sugars to supplement itself. on the otherhand, humans feed off of plants and animals; we don't have the ability to make our own food within ourselves. humans and other animals are heterotrophs.

humans are an aswer that an organism can move on their own
True, but we rely on other species to supply our foods. We cannot create our own food like plants can. That is why we eat plants: to get the nutrients we can't provide for ourselves.
Make their own food.
carnivore
plants are producers so they under go the process of photosynthesis. being a producer is when you make and create your own food and energy. we as humans are consumers who consume plants and animals in order to gain our energy
