Because they require organic compounds for growth, unlike autotrophic organisms which produce their own nutrients by absorbing inorganic compounds.

What are organisms that must eat food for energy called?
Heterotrophic.
What type of organisms are they Because humans cannot produce their own food and must eat?
Humans, like all animals, are heterotrophic. They can't synthesize their own food and have to eat other organisms to survive.
What because humans cannot produce their own food and must eat what organism are they?
Humans, like all animals, are heterotrophic. They can't synthesize their own food and have to eat other organisms to survive.
What are the organisms that must get their energy from food sources?
heterotrophs
What organisms are mostly multicellular that have nucleated cells with no rigid cell wall are motile and heterotrophic generally digesting food in an internal chamber?
•The key features of organisms in Kingdom Animalia:•Multicelluar•Heterotrophic (must consume other organisms for energy and materials)•Reproduce mostly by sexual reproduction.•No cell walls (all living things have cell membranes; only some have cell walls).•Most are motile at some stage in their lives.
What are organisms that must eat food for energy called?
Heterotrophic.
Is paramecium heterotrophic?
Yes. Paramecium do not preform photosynthesis, which would make them autotrophic, so they must ingest their food for energy. Bacteria, for instance.
How do heterotrophic gets food?
Some bacteria are heterotrophs and cannot make their own food. Instead, Heterotrophic bacteria must consume other organisms or the food that other organisms make. Heterotrophic bacteria may consume a variety of foods--from milk and meat, which you might also eat, to the decaying leaves on a forest floor

Are people heterotroph?
People are heterotrophic organisms. They are unable to manufacture their own food and must obtain their nutrients and energy source from external sources.
Is an amoeba an autotrophic?
Amoebae are heterotrophic, meaning they must eat other organisms to survive.
What does all animal have in common?
All animals are made of eukaryotic cell(s) and are heterotrophs (they can not create their own food, they must ingest other organisms).
Humans cannot produce their own food and must eat what type of organism are they?

What is the difference between autotrophic and heterotrophic cells?
The main difference between autotrophic and heterotophic cells is that autotroph cells produce their own food, while heterotrophic cells do not. Another difference is that autotrophs obtain carbon from inorganic sources like carbon dioxide, while heterotrophs get their reduced carbon from other organisms.
Which kingdom consists of complex multicelluar eukaryotic organisms which must consume or ingest other organisms for nutritiom?
Animalia
