The origin of all energy for life on earth is the sun. Only plants and other photosynthesizers (i.e.alge) can use the sun's energy to support their own life. All other life on Earth (heterotrophs) have to get their energy either from eating organisms that directly get their energy from the sun (plants), or by eating organisms that ate organisms that got their energy from the sun.

How nearly all energy for life comes directly or indirectly from the Sun given that heterotrophs get their energy from the food they eat.?
Ask yourself where the "food" gets its energy.
Are plants herbivores?
Plants are producers not consumers therefore they are not herbivores because herbivores are plant eaters
What is the role of a herbivore?
I believe the role of a herbivore is to consume plants and provide a source of meat for carnivores like me...... I believe the role of a herbivore is to consume plants and provide a source of meat for carnivores like me......

I think you mean a heterotroph. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food. (basically every organism but plants)

What else can a heterotrophs be called?
Heterotrophs are animals that cannot make their food, like plants can. the most common kingdom of heterotrophs is the Animalia kingdom. Hope this helps.
Is plants autototrophs or heterotrophs?
Autotrophs, because they produce their own food.
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.
How do deers depends on plants to survive?
Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.
What are heterotrophs in an ecosystem?
there are a number of heterotrophs like:- 1. flies 2. pig 3. honey bee 4. human beings 5.lizards 6. zebras 7. lion 8. tiger 9. giraffe 10. elephant
What are differences between heterotroph and autotroph?
Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs or other heterotrophs for energy. Autotrophs, such as plants, can make their own food using photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, must eat plants or other animals to obtain their energy.
What are the name of organisms that do photosynthesis?
Heterotrophs and Autotrophs
Is a eel a hetertroph?
