What is a organism that depends on another organism for food?

Answer 1

Usually parasites use other organisms for multiple things.

Example: Ticks that are found on Hippos are able to suck just a little blood they need to lay their eggs. In turn, a certain bird eats the ticks, which leaves the Hippo happier and less itchy. And from the nutrition the bird gets, it can lay its eggs in nests because it'll have the strength it needs to from eating.

An organism can depend on another organism for protection.

For example, the clownfish is depending on the anomne to protect him by using the eletricity it generates and use thw anomne as safe zone.

Answer 2

There are many ways to explain just how. For starters, one organism could be the producer, and the other a consumer, for example, plants are producers, and herbivores eat plants, therefore they are the consumers.

Answer 3

Some animals actually do depend on others because of the food, but also through symbiotic relationships. Symbiotic relationships are when two creatures benefit by helping each other. For example, when a little fishy eats the dirt out of a big fishy's mouth, it gets food and the big fishy gets cleaner. (Little kindergarten reference for you but I think you get it)
if it is a carnivore it feeds on other animals if it is a herbivore when one animal dies it breaks down and gives the plant nutrients

also using symbiosis
Some animals depend on other animals for food. Snakes depend on rats for food so they can survive

Answer 4

Those organisms are called heterotrophic. These organisms either eat the autotrophs (organisms that make their own food) or eat the organisms that eat the autotrophs (also called the producers). Heterotrophs are also called "consumers."

Answer 5

organisms depend on other organisms for survival and food

Answer 6

A parasite. For example fleas, lice and tapeworms cannot survive without a host organism as they gain nutrition from either the host's blood, digestive system, skin, etc.

Answer 7

All organisms.

Ex: we humans depend on plants for oxygen, which we need to survive.

Answer 8

Food
