Heterotrophs depend on the sun for energy because they eat other hetertophs and autotrophs. As you know autotrophs eat plants sp when a heterotroph eats one, it gets the energy. Or it receives it directly by eating the plants/autotrphs. I hope this answered your question.

The ultimate source is where the energy came from originally. Heterotrophs get their energy from autotrophs, which get their energy from the sun. So, that means the original (or ultimate) source of energy is the sun.
False. Heterotrophs cannot obtain energy directly from the sun; instead, they rely on consuming other organisms, such as plants or animals, to obtain their energy. Unlike autotrophs, which can produce their own energy through photosynthesis, heterotrophs depend on organic matter for sustenance.
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for the vast majority of organisms. Producers convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. Glucose molecules are combined to make starch for energy storage. Primary consumers (heterotrophs) feed on producers (autotrophs), and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers, and so on.
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light

Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming other organisms, while autotrophs make their own energy through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Essentially, heterotrophs rely on external sources for energy, while autotrophs are self-sufficient in energy production.
Heterotrophs get their energy from the sun indirectly. This because they eat autotrophs who make their energy using the sun.
the sun because well it gives them energy
