Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.
An organism that eats other organisms is called a consumer.
An organism that eats other organisms for energy are known as heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs
An organism that obtains energy by feeding on other organisms is called a consumer or a heterotroph.
autotrophs produce their own energy while heterotrophs get energy by eating other organisms.
Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.
Energy is passed between organisms through food consumption, as organisms obtain energy by consuming other organisms or their products. Energy is also passed between organisms through symbiotic relationships, such as parasitism, where one organism benefits by extracting energy from another organism.

A heterotrophic absorber is an organism that gets its energy by consuming other organisms.
The energy used by a living organism on Earth primarily comes from the sun through photosynthesis. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of sugars, which is then used by other organisms through the food chain. Some organisms also obtain energy through consuming other organisms.
