Heterotrophs are organisms that can't make their own food. Pretty much all animals are heterotrophs. (In contrast, autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food) Three examples are lions, tigers, and bears.

All animals are heterotrophs. [ex: zebras, frogs, humans, horse, mice] Anything that gets it's energy source/food from another source is a heterotroph. Plants are not heterotroph, they are autotroph because they make their own food.

plants are autotrophic, eukaryotic, multicellular, and they have a cell wall. Carniverous plants are also heterotrophic, but they also photosynthesize (this makes both heterotrophic and autotrophic). Some examples of plants are grasses, shrubs, trees, and flowers. (Mosses, lichens, fungis etc. are NOT part of the plant kingdom, they are in Kindom Fungi.)
