Heterotrophs are unable to make their food, but consume reduced carbon compounds. The heterotrophs are then able to obtain energy from the food for reproduction and growth.

What organism cannot make their own food and must obtain energy from the food they eat?
Heterotrophs can not make there own food. Heterotrophs include mammals, insects and so on.
Where does cellular respiration occur in heterotrophs and and photosynthesis in autotrophs?
heterotrophs eat other organisms because they can not make their own food. so they obtain their energy by braking down their food to a simpler state through the process of respiration so yes heterotrophs preform respiration
What do heterotrophs use water for?
Heterotrophs use water to break the bonds to make energy.
What bacteria does not make its own food?
heterotrophs
Are ostriches autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Ostriches are heterotrophs because they have to find their own food.
Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
What organism cannot make their own food and must obtain energy from the food they eat?
Heterotrophs can not make there own food. Heterotrophs include mammals, insects and so on.
Do bacteria make their own food?
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
What are differences between heterotroph and autotroph?
Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.
Do heterotrophs have chlorplasts?
No. Autotrophs, which make their food/energy from light have cloroplast, since that is where photosynthesis occurs.
Is it true heterotrophs are the energy currency of the cell?
No. Heterotrophs cannot make its own food & gets its energy by feeding on other organisms. The energy currency of the cell is called ATP. ATP is used for active transport.Sorry its a little beyond but wanted to make it more explainable. :D
Do not make their own food?
Heterotrophs.
What cannot make its own food?
An organism that is not capable of making its own food must consume another organism for energy. They are termed heterotrophs.
Explain how heterotroph get their energy from the Sun even though they cannot make their own food?
Heterotrophs get their energy from the sun indirectly. This because they eat autotrophs who make their energy using the sun.
What do heterotrophs use water for?
Heterotrophs use water to break the bonds to make energy.
Where does cellular respiration occur in heterotrophs and and photosynthesis in autotrophs?
heterotrophs eat other organisms because they can not make their own food. so they obtain their energy by braking down their food to a simpler state through the process of respiration so yes heterotrophs preform respiration
How can heterotrophs and autotrophs be compared and contrasted?
Heterotrophs do not make their own food and autotrophs make their own food. Autotroph=Plants Heterotroph=Animals
