All animals are heterotrophs, getting their organic molecules (food, growth) from another organism. Those that consume other organisms are predators. The larger predatory animals that consume smaller animals are carnivores (meat eaters).

Why are plants important to the survival of other organisms?
The reason why the food that plants make is important not only to the plant themselves, but to other organisms, is because the nutrients that the plant makes from photosynthesis not only helps the plant but other organisms that feed off of the plant and the plant's nutrients.
What do you call an amimal who Gets energy by eating meat is called?
A heterotroph (sustains self on other organisms) or a carnivore (eats meat).
How do consumers get energy and nutrients?
by eating food
What are organisms that obtain energy by feeding on other organisms?
an organism that gets energy from another organism is a consumer. they fall into many catergories. # carnivore- kills and eats another organism # parasite- feeds of a host but keeps the host organism alive for as long as possible # herbivore- eats plant organisms # omnivore- eats both plant and animal organisms # scavengers- eats dead organisms
Do plants provide food for every type of heterotrophs?
The origin of all energy for life on earth is the sun. Only plants and other photosynthesizers (i.e.alge) can use the sun's energy to support their own life. All other life on Earth (heterotrophs) have to get their energy either from eating organisms that directly get their energy from the sun (plants), or by eating organisms that ate organisms that got their energy from the sun.
How do protista get their nutrients?
Some get nutrients and by eating other organisms get energy from the sun, and nutrients from the water around them energy.
How do organisms that are not autotroph's get energy?
Organisms get energy by eating autotrophs.
What organisms get its energy by eating dead plants and animal?
There are many organisms that feed on carcasses of plants and animals. Jackals and Vultures and among them. There are also organisms called decomposers which break down the dead carcasses for nutrients.
Why is food important to organisms?
Food provides organisms with necessary nutrients and energy.
What organism cant make its own foodand gets its energy by eating other organisms?
Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make its own food and gets energy by eating other organisms.
How organisms transfer energy from one to another?
Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.

Is a camel an autotroph or heterotroph?
Camels are heterotrophs. Autotrophs are organisms that create their own food, such as plants. Heterotrophs are organisms that consume other organisms for nutrients/energy.
How does photosynthesis beniffit heterotrophs?
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.
The steps by which energy flows among a group of organisms is called?
A food chain.The steps by which energy flows among groups of organisms is called an energy pyramid. The energy pyramid shows what organisms get energy from other organisms and how much they get.
