Is an earthworm an autotroph?
It is easy to mistake an Earthworm as an autotroph (an organism that synthesizes its own energy from inorganic sources) because it consumes soil and dirt. However, soil actually contains organic matter. By definition, a heterotroph is an organism that consumes organic matter for energy. An earthworm is therefore a heterotroph, not an autotroph.
A rabbit is considered a heterotroph because it?
Because it consumes organic matter (in this instance, plants) in order to obtain energy. If it was an autotroph, it would obtain energy by creating sugar from photosynthesis.
What are an organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes?
Heterotrophs. For example: fish and frogs.
What happens to the energy stored in an autotroph when it is eaten by a heterotroph?
Autotrophs store energy in long chains of glucose molecules. These chains can be either starch or cellulose, depending on how the glucose are connected. When a heterotroph consumes the autotroph, it breaks down the cellulose or starch into its basic glucose components. The consumer either completely breaks down the glucose for energy, or it stores the molecules as fat or glycogen.

Some heterotrophs would be birds, lions, elephants, bears, humans, ect., just whatever can't produce its own food like plants can.
