A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
Some tortoises eat other animals waste such as hyena scat because it has lots of calcium in them. and since decomposer is known as a heterotrophic animal that feeds on dead or wastes of living organisms a tortoise especially the leopard tortoise can also be known as a decomposer.
no a scorpion is not a parasite a parasite is an organism that feeds off of a host which is a living thing this could be plant or animal scorpions do not feed off of a host a scorpion is an arachnid which is an animal with eight legs such as a spider, tick, mites and scorpions.
A primary consumer feeds on producers. For example, cows eat grass which makes cows a primary consumer.
A consumer is something in an ecosystem that feeds off of producers or other consumers
A tertiary consumer is an animal that eats secondary consumers (which are carnivores). For example: Grasshoppers are primary consumers (herbivores) because they eat grass. Rats are secondary consumers (carnivores) because they eat grasshoppers. Snakes are tertiary consumers because they eat rats.
A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
A prairie dog is a consumer because it feeds on other organisms. consumer=an organism that feeds on other organisms producer=makes energy for self
Anything that's not a producer or autotroph, which means it makes its own food. An organism that feeds on other organisms is a heterotroph, which could be a parasite, which feeds on dead organisms; a carnivore, which is a meat eater; or an herbivore, which feeds on plants.
it is the interaction between organisms where one organism [predator]feeds on an other organism[prey]
Fungi
it is some kind of organism that eats roadkill scavenger?
Its a consumer or a carnivor. Like a lion or whatever
A organism that feeds on another organism is called a parasite. The action of this occuring is called parasitism which is when one organism recieves benefits from the other by causing damage to it.
A parasite is an organism that feeds on (and may live inside, or be attached to) another organism without killing it (in comparison to a predator which kills and eats other organisms). The organism upon which a parasite feeds is known as the host.
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.
a consumer because it doesnt produce its own food it feeds of of other organisms
Bacteria that break down dead organisms are considered consumers. They are not the only consumers; any organism that feeds on another is a consumer.
