Is a horse an autotoroph or a heterotroph?

Answer 1

Heterotrophs are organisms that are not capable of synthesizing their own food. An autotroph on the other hand, is able to synthesize its own food starting with simple molecules and energy.

A horse has to consume food present in the outside world and does not have a mechanism for producing nutrient molecules and energy inherently. So a horse is a heterotroph.

Answer 2

Yes a horse is a herbivore but i gusse that it could be a carnivore if it wanted to. Horses eat almost all plant such as leaves, grass, weeds, hay, fruit and vegitabels stuff like that, but staying away from stuff like flowers and sage brush.
Yes, they only eat plant stuff.

Answer 3

when we call an organism heterotroph it means that organism uses the organic soueses of C (carbon), in opposition we have autotroph organisms which use the inorganic C (from CO2, like plants).

so dog & all animals are heterotroph.
