Organisms that make their own food?
An organism that makes their own food?It's called a producer :)Wow that is terrible grammar and you didn't even answer the question correctly; an organism that makes its own food is called an autotroph. A heterotroph is an organism that does not produce its own food and relies on consuming other organisms. Autotrophs are the source of energy in most ecosystems.At least they can write it nicely. Unlike Mr. Smarty Pants.... =)Wow, what grade are you guys in, like 2nd?

Is a horse an autotoroph or a heterotroph?
Heterotrophs are organisms that are not capable of synthesizing their own food. An autotroph on the other hand, is able to synthesize its own food starting with simple molecules and energy. A horse has to consume food present in the outside world and does not have a mechanism for producing nutrient molecules and energy inherently. So a horse is a heterotroph.

What do you call an organisms that cannot make their own food?
Organisms that do not make their own food in other words, organisms that are not able to carry out photosynthesis on their own are called heterotrophs. Plants are called autotrophs. Mammals is a good example of heterotrophs. Only plants and certain fungi are capable of carrying out the process of photosynthesis.
