Organisms that must obtain nutrients and energy by eating other organisms are?
All animals are heterotrophs, getting their organic molecules (food, growth) from another organism. Those that consume other organisms are predators. The larger predatory animals that consume smaller animals are carnivores (meat eaters).
What are organisms that obtain energy by feeding on other organisms?
an organism that gets energy from another organism is a consumer. they fall into many catergories. # carnivore- kills and eats another organism # parasite- feeds of a host but keeps the host organism alive for as long as possible # herbivore- eats plant organisms # omnivore- eats both plant and animal organisms # scavengers- eats dead organisms
Would a herbivore be a predator?
A herbivore is NOT a predator because it eats plants. if at all possible, a herbivore is prey to carnivorous predators.Improving the answerBy: hulk789To be a predator, the organism naturally preys on other organisms. By defining a herbivore, means that it is an organism which feeds on plants. Organisms are individual animals, plants and single-celled life forms (basically, all that are alive are organisms). Plants are organisms, which proves the fact that a herbivore is a predator as it feeds on other organisms.
How do organisms interact helpful and harmful ways?
This is called symbiosis. There are multiple types of symbiotic relationships: Mutualism - both organisms benefit Commensalism - one organism benefits, the other is neither harmed nor helped Parasitism - one organism benefits, the other is harmed Amensalism - one organism is harmed, the other is neither harmed nor helped
What are the representative organism in herbivore?
Organisms that feed off of grass and other plants
An organism that decomposes decaying organisms leaf litter and other types of dead organic matter is called a?
Such organisms are called decomposers, which include micro fungi and bacteria . They decompose dead and decaying organic matter. An organism that decomposes decaying organisms leaf litter and other types of dead organic matter is called a saprobe, saprotroph ,saprophytic .
What is a concumer?
an organism requiring complex organic compounds for food which it obtains by preying on other organisms or by eating particles of organic matter Invertebrates.
What term refers to an organism that obtains its nutrition from dead organisms?
A decomposer is an organism that breaks down the organic matter of other dead organisms to feed itself. It takes quite a while for a dead organism to decompose.
How do heterotrophs get nutrients?
Heterotrophs have adapted a wide range of feeding habits for example:ParasitismDetretivorismHerbivorismCarnivorismOmnivorismSymbiosisSaprobiosis
An organism that eats other organisms or organic matter instead of producing its own nutrients or obtaining nutrients from inorganic sources?
Consumer. I did this crossword too.
What is a heterotrophic absorber?
A heterotrophic absorber is an organism that obtains organic nutrients by absorbing dissolved organic matter directly from its environment. These organisms do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophic organisms. Instead, they rely on external sources of organic material for energy and nutrients.
A protist that obtains its food from dead organic matter or from the dead body of another organism is called a?
Generally protists help in decomposition of dead organic matter by feeding on them.Such type of protists or bacteria are called saprophytes
What is an organism that obtains its energy from nonliving organic matter?
A decomposer is an organism that obtains its energy from nonliving organic matter. Decomposers break down dead plants and animals, as well as other organic materials, into simpler compounds, releasing energy in the process. Examples of decomposers include fungi, bacteria, and certain types of worms.
What is a organism that cannot create its own food it eat other organisms as a food source?
An organism that cannot create its own food and eats other organisms as a food source is called a heterotroph. This type of organism obtains nutrients and energy by consuming other living organisms or organic matter. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
What is saprozoic nutrition?
Saprozoic nutrition is a type of nutrition in which an organism feeds on dead and decaying organic matter. These organisms help in the decomposition process by breaking down organic material into simpler compounds that can be reused by other living organisms. Examples of saprozoic organisms include fungi and some bacteria.
What is heterotrope?
If you mean hetrotroph, it means: An organism that is unable to synthesize its own organic carbon-based compounds from inorganic sources, it insteads feeds on organic matter by, or avaliable in, other organisms. Humans are an example of a heterotroph, a flower is not an example.
Is a heterotroph a self feeder?
No, a heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must obtain nutrients from other sources. They rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter for energy.
