Carnivores depend on other animals for matter and energy.
The external source of energy that organisms depend on is typically sunlight or organic matter. Sunlight is harnessed by photosynthetic organisms like plants to produce energy-rich molecules through photosynthesis. Other organisms, such as animals and fungi, rely on consuming these energy-rich molecules from plants or other organisms to obtain the energy they need for survival.
Organisms that eat both animal and vegetable matter are call omnivores.
Living organisms are made up of matter, such as cells, tissues, and organs. This matter contains energy in the form of chemical bonds that are used for various biological processes like metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Energy in living organisms is constantly being exchanged with the environment through processes like respiration and photosynthesis.
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
No, snails do not go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants and some bacteria, where sunlight is converted into energy. Snails are heterotrophic organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter.
vulture :D
only on rare occasions such as if the animal has no organic matter in their upper digestive system
No.

saprotrophs depend on dead and decaying matter for their food neds. it releases enzymes in their surrounding environmentto break down complex food into organic matter and then absorbs this simple organic food to obtain energy.
The chemical energy of the animal who was eaten is passed on to the animal who ate the other animal.
decomposers
Organisms that can consume other organisms for energy are known as heterotrophs. This includes animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs rely on consuming organic matter to obtain the energy they need for survival.
Organisms that eat both animal and vegetable matter are call omnivores.
Plant photosynthesis is the primary source of nutrients in every ecosystem. Deep in the ocean, where little or no sunlight is present, photosynthesis is impossible. Thus, organisms in deep water ecosystems depend on detritus (discarded waste) and other organic matter that drifts down from (and is generated) nearer to the surface, or on species that migrate back and forth.
Decomposers break down animal waste and dead organisms in order to get energy and release free nutrients back into the ecosystem, so matter and energy can begin another cycle. Example: Worm
