Snakes and elephants are both examples of heterotrophs since they consume other organisms for food instead of making their own. It doesn't matter that the former is a carnivore and the latter is an herbivore.

What are heterotrophs Give an example?
organisms that receive energy from autotrophs or other heterotrophs. ex... mice, dogs, lions
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
Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
Are gram negative enteric bacilli fastidious heterotrophs?
gram negative enteric bacilli are fastidious heterotrophs.
What are heterotrophs Give an example?
organisms that receive energy from autotrophs or other heterotrophs. ex... mice, dogs, lions
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.
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.

Yes fox is a heterotrophs
Are protists heterotrophs?
yes all protists are heterotroph.. some though also are something aside from heterotroph, for example sarcodina are not only heterotrophs but alsp phagasites
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
What kingdom includes only heterotrophs?
Tertiary consumers feed on heterotrophs since heterotrophs are secondary consumers, therefore tertiary consumers feed on those. It also depends on what kind of heterotroph one has.
Are zebras autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Heterotrophs.
What do omnivore eat?
An Omnivore eats plants (autotrophs) and other animals (heterotrophs). Example of Omnivores are humans.
Can produce their own energy?
