some single celled organisms such as the euglena(when they are being animal-like) absorb nutrients through their pellicle
absorptive heterotroph digest food first and then absorb it, so thats how they feed
An absorptive heterotroph feeds by secreting enzymes to break down organic matter outside of its body, then absorbing the resulting nutrients through its cell membrane. This process allows them to obtain energy and nutrients from a wide range of organic materials.
An absorptive heterotroph feeds by secreting enzymes onto their food source to break down complex molecules into smaller, soluble nutrients. These nutrients are then absorbed through the cell membrane to be used for energy and growth. Examples of absorptive heterotrophs include fungi and some protists.

Leopards are 'heterotrophs' because they cannot make their own food and they feed themselves from other organisms to obtain energy.
Yes, a swordfish is a heterotroph. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy. Swordfish, being carnivorous, primarily feed on smaller fish and squid, fitting the definition of a heterotroph.
No, heterotroph and consumer are not exactly the same. Heterotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms or organic substances. Consumers are a type of heterotroph that specifically refers to organisms that feed on other organisms for energy.
Autotrophs produce their own food (eg. plants using photosynthesis to make glucose). Heterotrophs consume organic matter to feed themselves. Therefore, squirrels (as well as all other animals) are heterotrophs.
A cockroach is a type of heterotroph called a scavenger. Unlike an autotroph, a heterotroph is not capable of producing its own food. It relies on an autotroph for its food. A scavenger, in particular, likes to eat leftovers of things or dead animals.
