No those are heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food.
Autotrophs are producers, or organisms that make their own food. Heterotrophs are organisms that eat the autotrophs. They don't make their own food.
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using sunlight or inorganic compounds. While plants are a common example of autotrophs, not all autotrophs are plants. Some autotrophs, such as certain types of bacteria, can produce their own food without the need to consume other organisms.
Sheep are herbivores, meaning they eat only autotrophs (plants). They normally eat grass.
Autotrophs because they make their food by their own
No, Autotrophs are producers that make their own food for example plants using light for photosynthesis. Heterotrophs eat the autotrophs, so really autotrophs support the heterotrophs in the cycle.
By consuming autotrophs.
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
Those organisms are called heterotrophic. These organisms either eat the autotrophs (organisms that make their own food) or eat the organisms that eat the autotrophs (also called the producers). Heterotrophs are also called "consumers."
Aquatic producers are known as autotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food hence the why they are called producers. They are plants, so they generate their own energy/food out of sunlight + water + carbon dioxide.
Heterotroph An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food. A heterotroph is an organism that eats autotrophs or heterotrophs that eat autotrophs. The food gets turned into energy.
Autotrophs create their own food (for example plants). These get eaten by primary consumers (herbivores) - which are then eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores). Therefore autotrophs are the original source of food for carnivores.
My guess-->the heterotrphs starve from lack of food, and eat each other
