omnivores
Heterotrophs are living things that have to eat other living things to survive. That would be an animal, since plants make their own food.Heterotrophs that eat other heterotrophs would be animals that eat other animals. Heterotrophs that eat only other heterotrophs would be a carnivore. If the heterotroph eats both heterotrophs (animals) and autotrophs (plants), that would describe an omnivore.

"Predators" is the common name, but they can also be considered "heterotrophs". Heterotrophs are beings that do not make their own energy, like plants or other autotrophs, and instead eat plants or other animals."Consumer" is another name for a heterotroph.
Autotrophs make their own food through photosynthesis. Heterotrophs obtain nourishment by eating other organisms.
Heterotrophs are a range of shapes and sizes. They can range from unicellular organisms to elephants. This is because heterotrophs eat other organisms for food.
heterotrophs
heterotrophs are also known as 'other feeders' Heterotrophs are also known as parasites or saprophytes depending on their mode of getting food.
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.
Autotrophs, but not heterotrophs, can nourish themselves beginning with CO2 and other nutrients that are inorganic.
Organisms that get their food from other things or they can't make food on their own.
Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms for energy. Carnivores are a specific type of heterotroph that primarily eat other animals. Omnivores, on the other hand, are also heterotrophs but consume both plant and animal matter. Thus, all carnivores and omnivores are heterotrophs, but not all heterotrophs are carnivores or omnivores.
