Yes, snails are chemoheterotrophs. They obtain their energy and organic compounds by consuming other organisms, primarily plant material, and decomposing organic matter. Unlike photoautotrophs, which derive energy from sunlight, snails rely on chemical processes to break down the organic substances they ingest.
What else can I help you with?
Are prokaryotes autotrophs?
They can be, Photoautorophs, Photoheterotrophs, Chemoautotrophs or Chemoheterotrophs
If plants are called producers or autotrophs what are humans called?

Were chemoheterotrophs the first on Earth?
no. by definition the first ones would have to be autotrophs
Is a human a heteroproph?
I think you mean heterotrophic, and no, humans are not. We are however; multicellular chemoheterotrophs.

Can snails live in water?

What type of snails are good with triops?

Are fungi photoautotrophs?
No, fungi are not photoautotrophs. They are heterotrophs that obtain their energy by breaking down organic matter in their environment.
How does chemoheterotrophs obtain carbon?
Chemoheterotrophs obtain carbon by consuming organic compounds from their environment. They cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis and depend on other organisms for a source of carbon. This carbon is used in their metabolism to generate energy and build cellular components.
Do apple snails eat small snails?
Apple Snails will eat other snails if you don't feed them. If you feed them, then they are alright.
Do snails have bristles?
Snails do not have bristles. Snails do have a raspy tongue though.
