Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their own food so they must depend on other organisms for nutrients.

Why they are fewer heterothrophs than autotrophs?
My guess-->the heterotrphs starve from lack of food, and eat each other
What would happen to to the food chain if a disturbance caused a serious decline in the shark population?
heterotrphs that comsume the carecasses of dead animals but does not typcially kill them itself

What is the difference between heterotrphs ans autorophs?
Autotrophs are producers, or organisms that make their own food. Heterotrophs are organisms that eat the autotrophs. They don't make their own food.
How does the environment affect the plants?
Plants are at the bottom of the food chain. They are called autotrophs (organisms that make their own food). Herbivores, like cows, eat the plants in order to get energy (Heterotrphs - organisms that get their energy from consuming other organisms). Then there are the carnivores, like foxes, that kill and eat the herbivorous cows. Finally, us humans are at the top of the food chain. We "eat" everything. If there were no plants or animals, there would be nothing living. The environment would be a barren wasteland with only rocks.
How might you and other species be affected if all of the worlds sharks were go extinct?

Compare the metabolism of autotrophs with that of heterotrophs?
Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot manufacture its ownfood and instead obtains its food and ernegy by taking in organic substances,ussually plant or animal matter.eg of those organisms are:all animals,protozoans,fungi,and bacteria. Autotrophs is an organism that manufacter its own food from inorganic substances such as Carbondioxied and ammonia.eg of those organisms are green plants,certain algae,photosythetic bacteria.
How plants and trees protect our environment?
plants affects greatly the factor of our environment. they beautify our environment. they does a great job also for the insects who depends on them sharing and also they protect us human also because we get oxygen from the plants. they even prevent harmful damages may occur when there is typhoon flood land slide they are really big factors for the environment.Lots of ways lol Idk relly but it makes the Earth cleaner and the trees absorb Co2 which makes less greenhouse gases.( Thers lots more reasons but im lazy.)
