Well there are two types of cells when it comes to whether they can produce their own energy or not. They are autotrophicand heterotrophic. Plants for example are autotrophic, they use the energy from the sun to create their own food. This process is known as photosynthesis. Animals and fungi though, for example, are heterotrophic, meaning that they must get their own food. Animals eat and fungi are decomposers, so they eat away dead plants and animals for their food. But I think that the term you are looking for is, yes, heterotrophic.

How does micochondria produce energy for cells?
the mitochondria produce energy for the cells through respiration.
The cell is dependent on outside sources of organic molecules that can be used to produce energy because?
Because cells are not capable of producing their own energy molecules.
Do active cells continually produce ATP?
Yes, all the cells in our body have to produce its own ATP energy. ATP cannot be stored in the cell. ATP can also not be transported from one cell to another.
What is an organism that can not make its own food?
A heterotroph is an organism that can not produce its own food. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food.
Which cell organelles produce energy in eukaryotic cells?
Mitochondria are responsible in producing energy.They produce energy throug respiration.
How does micochondria produce energy for cells?
the mitochondria produce energy for the cells through respiration.
Why is it important for the cells to produce energy in people and NOT plants?
Many plant cells produce energy through Photosynthesis.
What does mitochindria produce?
Mitochondria produce the energy that is used in the cells. They are commonly referred to the energy factory of powerhouse of the cells.
What can ribosomes do on its own?
they can produce cells on there own
The cell is dependent on outside sources of organic molecules that can be used to produce energy because?
Because cells are not capable of producing their own energy molecules.
Are mitochondria found in?
They are in eukariyotes.They conduct respiration to produce energy.
What gas do your cells have to have produce energy?
Oxygen is requried for respiration (your cells making 'energy'.)
Do active cells continually produce ATP?
Yes, all the cells in our body have to produce its own ATP energy. ATP cannot be stored in the cell. ATP can also not be transported from one cell to another.
Which type of cells produce energy from the sun?
Cells with chloroplasts.
How do cells produce their energy?
They produce energy through a process known as cellular respiration. In it, glucose is converted into energy.
What does the mitochondria do in plant cells?
produce energy
What Stem cells can produce their own type of cells?
Adult stem cells
