Heterotrophs get energy by ingesting organic material (such as plants or meat).
Autotrophs get energy by using inorganic material to make organic materials.

What are the animals and fungi that depend on autotrophs for their food energy?
Heterotrophs
In heterotrophs energy for the life processes comes from the chemicals energy stored in the bonds of?
organic compounds
What kind of organism obtains energy directly from the sun?
Heterotrophs can eat autotrophs or other heterotrophs.
How do you get your energy?
Eating and drinking, for heterotrophs and photosynthesis and other autotrophic behavior for autotrophs.
How life depends upon solar energy in their survival?
Autotrophs fix solar energy into chemical energy via photosynthesis. This glucose and the chemical energy within, is consumed and transferred along the food web to all other heterotrophs.
What are heterotrophs and where do they get their energy?
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume food in order to obtain energy. These organisms get their energy by consuming organic molecules.
How do autotrophs obtain energy and how do heterotrophs obtain energy?
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
What is the term for any organism that obtains its energy by eating other organims?
kufluy
How do autotrophs and heterotrophs differ in way they obtain energy?
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
How do heterotrophs and autotrophs differ in the way they obtain energy?
Heterotrophs obtain energy from foods they consume, and Autotrophs obtain energy by the sun light
What food molecule is used by heterotrophs to make energy?
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 do heterotrophs use water for?
Heterotrophs use water to break the bonds to make energy.
Heterotrophs obtain the chemical energy used in metabolism from autotrophs or from other heterotrophs?
false or no
What does photosyntesis give to the heterotrophs?
energy
Can heterotrophs produce their own energy?
Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food, if that is what you mean by energy. For example, humans are heterotrophs. Autotrophs, however, can produce their own food (like plants, algae, etc). Both heterotrophs and autotrophs need energy to survive, they just use it in different ways.
Are detrivores and decomposers autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Decomposers are types of heterotrophs. They are not able to consume their own energy through photosynthesis. They get their energy from the remains of dead organisms.
How do autographs differ from heterotrophs in obtaining energy?
First of all, autographs and heterotrophs are not even closely related. Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming organic matter of other organisms, either living or deceased. Autotrophs obtain energy by capturing it from sunlight (photosynthesis) or capturing chemical energy (chemosynthesis).
