What organism feeds on other organisms because it cannot make its own food?
A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
Is a insect larvae a heterotroph?
it is because it is because it eats other living animals
What organism feeds other organism because it cannot make its own food?
A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
Is the Arctic fox an autotroph or hetotroph?
Hetotroph of course! Autotroph only for organisms that gain food by producing it such as green plants that produce glucose by photosynthesis, also known as producer in food chain. While Hetotroph obtain food from other organisms and known as consumer in food chain.
What organisms get their food by breaking down dead organisms?
Decomposers (or saprotrophs) are organisms that consume dead or decaying organisms, and, in doing so, carry out the natural process of decompositionSapotrophs or (if a plant) saprophytes.
What are autotrophic and heterotrophic?
An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food. It includes all plants, but the majority are unicellular organisms. Autotrophs utilize photosynthesis to produce their food (typically the nutrient glucose). An autotroph is also referred to as a producer. An example of an autotroph is algae.A heterotroph is an organism that receives its food from other sources. It is a multicellular or unicellular organism. Organisms that are consumers or decomposers are heterotrophs. A parasite is also a heterotroph. A parasite feeds off other organisms for its food. An example of a parasite is a deer tick. An example of a decomposing heterotroph is an earthworm. An earthworm decomposes biological matter in soil for its food. An example of a consuming heterotroph is a bunny. A bunny eats plants for its nutrients.Plants and some other types of organisms are able to use light energy from the sun to prduce food. Organisms such as plants which make their own food, are called autotrophs (AW-toh-trohfs).Other organisms, animals, cannot use the Sun's energy directly. These organisms, known as heterotrophs (HET-uh-roh-trohfs), obtain energy from the foods they consume. Impalas, for example, are heterotrophs because they eat grasses, which are autotrophs.
Is staphylococcus aureus heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Since Salmonella is a type of bacteria, and bacteria are heterotrophs, salmonella is probably also a heterotroph.
What is a synonym for a primary consumer?
A primary consumer simply put is a herbivore. It is the first level of consumers, meaning the first level of organisms on the food chain that doesn't produce its own food.
Are the oldest known and simplest organisms?
The oldest known and simplest organisms are part of the Archaebacteria kingdom. Members of this kingdom are one celled organisms and are also the most ancient organisms.
Is salmonella an autotroph or a heterotroph?
I don't think so, since bacteria is a heterotroph, and salmonella is a type of bacteria.
Organisms that make their own food like plants are called?
These organisms are called autotrophs. They can be also known as producers.
What is an organism that relies on other organisms for its food and energy supply also called a heterotroph?
Heterotrophs. These includes any animals that need to eat such as humans. Herbivores and carnivores. Parasites Consumers
