A Heterotroph does not make its own food, whereas autotrophs do.
Consumers: organisms that cannot make their own food. Heterotrophs: an organism that cannot fix carbon and uses organic carbon for growth.
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs rely on external sources of organic compounds for nutrition, as they cannot perform photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to produce their own food. Examples include animals, fungi, and some bacteria.
Autotrphs can make there own food by photosynthesis or by absorbing it Bacteria get food from both ways, they absorb their food from the ground, Protists can do this also, along with plants A heterotroph cannot make their own food, an example is a human
Plants are living organisms that make their own food through the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. This ability to produce their own food is known as autotrophy.
a heterotroph
consumer. any organism who cannot make its own food becomes a consumer of the producer. producer are the plants because they can make their own food.

An organism which cannot make its own food but instead absorb nutrition from decaying organisms is called a saprophyte. for example, fungi are saprophytic organisms.
A caterpillar is a consumer, consumers cannot make their own food, so they consume plants or other organisms for food
no an insect cannot make its on food, like parasites it may derive it from any other organism but being a heterotroph, it cannot make its own food
An organism that is not capable of making its own food must consume another organism for energy. They are termed heterotrophs.
