heterotroph, consumer
A consumer.
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain the nutrients they need for survival. This is in contrast to autotrophs, which can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a consumer. Organisms that make their own food are called producers. Consumers must create energy from eating producers or other consumers.
An organism which cannot make its own food but instead absorb nutrition from decaying organisms is called a saprophyte. for example, fungi are saprophytic organisms.
a heterotroph
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms, either plants or animals, for energy and nutrients. This group includes animals, fungi, and many bacteria. In contrast, organisms that can produce their own food, such as plants, are known as autotrophs.
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.
Animals that cannot make their own food are called consumers.
consumer. any organism who cannot make its own food becomes a consumer of the producer. producer are the plants because they can make their own food.
An organism that must take in food is called a heterotroph. An organism that is able to make their own food is called an autotroph.
