What else can I help you with?
Are consumers autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Consumers are heterotrophs. Autotrophs are producers.
Decomposers producers predators and consumers are all what?
They are all types of organisms in an ecosystem. Decomposers break down dead organisms, producers create food through photosynthesis, predators hunt and consume other organisms, and consumers feed on producers or other consumers for energy.
Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
Are consumers organisms that get solar or other energy indirectly?
Consumers are heterotrophs and do not get their energy directly, but by eating organisms that do, or by eating other consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers, predators are secondary or higher. Detrivores consume the dead matter left by either producers, or consumers, or both.
Are heterotrophic organisims consumers or producers?
Heterotrophic organisms are consumers, as they cannot produce their own food and instead obtain energy by consuming other organisms, either plants (herbivores) or other animals (carnivores). Unlike producers, which are typically autotrophic and can create their own food through processes like photosynthesis, heterotrophs rely on the organic compounds created by producers. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria.
Which term describes organisms that cannot make their own food and must feed off other living things?
Consumers,decomposers,producers
Out of producers decomposers and consumers which has the highest number of organisms?
producers has the highest number and they are called autotrophs because they make their own food then the consumers are next which are called heterotrophs because they depend on other organism for food and the decomposers are on the top of the pyramid of numbers
What trophic level is the kingdom protista on?
Kingdom Protista can occupy various trophic levels, as they include diverse organisms such as algae, protozoa, and some heterotrophic protists. Some protists are primary producers (autotrophs), while others are consumers (heterotrophs) feeding on producers or other consumers.
What is erotrophs?
there is no such thing as erotrophs but there are heterotrophs which are consumers or other feeders.
What do consumers and producers do?
Consumers eat other organisms and producers make their own food.
How does a heterotorph differ from an autotroph?
They differ in one fundamental way:Autotrophs fix their own energy. (They are the producers of the ecosystem.)Heterotrophs must get their energy from other sources. (They are the consumers, detritivores, or decomposers of the ecosystem.)
What is the producer and the consumer?
Producers (plants) make their own food, consumers don't. Consumers have to eat producers or other consumers.
