Nutrients, water, etc. They need to get their food from the environment because they cant produce it
Echinoderms, like all animals, are heterotrophs and need to eat food to survive.
Heterotrophs are any organism that can't produce its own food. In other words, it has to feed on other living things. Humans are heterotrophs because of this, whereas an autotroph or a plant can make its food from light water and co2, but all heterotrophs have to eat in order to survive.
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.

A carbohydrate is a complex molecule of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen found in all living organisms. These molecules store energy. All heterotrophs need carbohydrates for the energy they need to survive. Autotrophs make carbohydrates through photosynthesis or other processes.
Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.
No. They are heterotrophs. All the pathogens are heterotrophs, probably.
Heterotrophs and autotrophs both rely on external sources for energy and nutrients. Heterotrophs obtain these from consuming other organisms, while autotrophs produce their own energy through processes like photosynthesis. Both types of organisms need external sources to survive and function.
Heterotrophs are living things that have to eat other living things to survive. That would be an animal, since plants make their own food.Heterotrophs that eat other heterotrophs would be animals that eat other animals. Heterotrophs that eat only other heterotrophs would be a carnivore. If the heterotroph eats both heterotrophs (animals) and autotrophs (plants), that would describe an omnivore.
Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own carbohydrates through photosynthesis and must consume other organisms for energy. They include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria. By consuming other organisms, heterotrophs obtain the necessary nutrients and energy they need to survive.
Yes, all animals are heterotrophs and must consume nutrients either directly from autotrophs, or indirectly from the animals that eat autotrophs.
