Heterotrophs. For example: fish and frogs.
An organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes is known as a heterotroph. Heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria, which rely on consuming organic matter for energy and nutrients. They break down complex food substances through digestion to release energy for their metabolic processes. In contrast to autotrophs, which produce their own energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs depend on other organisms for sustenance.
The process by which an organism obtains food is called feeding or nutrition. It involves the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and assimilation of nutrients from the food source to meet the organism's energy and growth requirements.
Food chain.
Energy in a food chain transfers from one organism to another through the consumption of food. Each time an organism consumes another organism, it gains energy stored in the food consumed. This transfer is not 100% efficient, as some energy is lost as heat at each trophic level.
An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, usually plant or animal matter. All animals, protozoans, fungi, and most bacteria are heterotrophs.

The term is "trophic level" and it describes an organism's position in a food chain or food web based on its energy source and how it obtains energy.
An organism obtains food and resources from its habitat.
This process is known as energy transfer, where one organism consumes and obtains energy from another organism. This can occur through various trophic levels in a food chain or web, allowing energy to flow through ecosystems. Ultimately, energy is passed along as organisms are consumed and their energy is utilized for growth, reproduction, and survival.

The flow of energy from one organism to another is depicted by a food chain or food web. In a food chain, energy is transferred as one organism consumes another. This movement of energy is essential for the functioning of ecosystems.
The path of energy in food from one organism to another is through consumption. When an organism eats another organism, it gains energy stored in the food it consumes. This energy is then used for various life processes such as growth, reproduction, and movement.
Carnivore is an organism above herbivore in the food chain, as it consumes other animals for energy.
Food chain.
an organism that obtains energy from food is called a consumer. If an organism is able to manufacture its own food from other energy sources e.g. plants from light, oxygen and water, it is called a producer.
The term that refers to the particular way an organism obtains energy is "trophic level." This concept describes the position of an organism in a food chain, indicating its source of energy and nutrients. Organisms at different trophic levels play specific roles in energy transfer within an ecosystem.
