How do heterotrophs depends on the autotrophs?
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot synthesize its own food where as autotrophs can synthesize their own food. So heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for food. For example a cow (heterotroph) eats grass (autotroph).
Are mackerel autotrophs or heterotrophs?
heterotroph
Where do heterotrophs get oxygen from?
I had this on my BIO quiz earlier today. Because heterotrophs are not photosynthetic they receive their energy in the same way we do, food. Heterotrophs can be classified as consumers which means they eat (and get energy) from other plants or animals.
Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
Is cat a producer?
no
What does photosyntesis give to the heterotrophs?
energy
What are names of organisms that can make their own food?
Organisims that make its own food is called a AUTOTROPH for example PLANT
Do heterotrophs support autotrophs in the food chain?
No, Autotrophs are producers that make their own food for example plants using light for photosynthesis. Heterotrophs eat the autotrophs, so really autotrophs support the heterotrophs in the cycle.
Why human beings are called heterotrophs give reasons?
because they are humans
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.

Is a wolf an example of a heterotroph?
Yes fox is a heterotrophs
Can heterotrophs fly?
Some but not all heterotrophs can fly. Firstly, a heterotroph is an organism that are unable to make their own food. They are known as consumers in a food chain. Therefore, all animals are heterotrophs which include birds. An eagle is an example of a heterotroph, and it can fly. So only some heterotrophs that have the ability to fly can definitely fly.Some examples of heterotrophs that can fly :- Owls- Doves- Eagles- Woodpeckers- Vultures- Falcons
How are heterotrophs and autotrophs alike?
They both require energy and give off water as a byproduct
