Heterotrophs that eat both plant and animals are referred to as omnivores. Animals that only eat plants and herbivores and those who only eat meat are carnivores.
omnivore
Heterotrophs are living things that have to eat other living things to survive. That would be an animal, since plants make their own food.Heterotrophs that eat other heterotrophs would be animals that eat other animals. Heterotrophs that eat only other heterotrophs would be a carnivore. If the heterotroph eats both heterotrophs (animals) and autotrophs (plants), that would describe an omnivore.
The study of both plants and animals is referred to as Biology.that can be also narrowed down to botany for plants and zoology for animals.
Second-order heterotrophs have a common feeding relationship in that they feed on first-order heterotrophs, which are primary consumers. This means that they obtain their energy by consuming other organisms that primarily feed on producers.
A heterotroph ('eating others'). This can mean the consumption of animals or plants (as both are organisms), and makes all animals, some plants (carnivorous or parasitic) and all fungi heterotrophs. 'Regular' photosynthesizing plants 'feed' off sunlight, making them autotrophs ('eating independently').

Green plants are usually autotrophs

they both are heterotrophs
Ummmm, yeah. Heterotrophs means that the animal eats other animals or plants. Consumers are basically things that need to eat and that's practically every single living thing excluding the plants. So, yes, tortoises are both consumers and heterotrophs.
They are both heterotrophs.

animals and plants are both species
Three types of heterotrophes are: humans, alligators and fish. Plants are autotrophes which means they produce their own food within their body. If you compare the three heterotrophs I listed above, then they all consume (or eat) different types of food and capture them in different ways.
No, vegetarians, or better described, as herbivores in this example, are not the only heterotrophs that get all their energy from plants. All living organisms, including carnivores, also derive energy from plants by eating the herbivores.
