A living thing that eats other living things is a?

A living thing that eats other living things is a heterotroph. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms for energy. This contrasts with autotrophs, which can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.


What kind of living thing is at the start of a food chain?

The organisms at the beginning of the food chain are called producers or autotrophs, such as plants and algae. Some make their own food using the sun's energy through photosynthesis and some producers use chemosynthesis to make their own food.Above them would be 1st level consumers, then 2nd level consumers and so on.


An organism that eats heterotrophs is either?

A secondary or tertiary consumer. Secondary - eats primary consumers (herbivores) and/or producers Tertiary - eats secondary and primary consumers (and possibly producers as well) Secondary and Tertiary consumers can be either carnivores or omnivores.

Are polyps producers?

Polyps are not producers because they have sticky little arms and inside those sticky arms there is thin thread. It has poison in it so it can shock the prey and it will be easy to feed itself. For example, a shrimp comes by ( a shrimp is a living thing by the way ) and the polyp uses the thin thread to poison the shrimp, and takes the sticky arms and puts the shrimp in the mouth. It is a consumer because it is a living thing that eats another living thing. :)
