What is an anteater a autotroph or a heterotroph?

Answer 1

Heterotroph, because it cannot make it's own food like plants who are autotrophs. Heterotrophs are organisms that consume food to receive the energy needed. Therefore an anteater is a heterotroph because it eats bugs and plants to get energy.

Answer 2

An anteater is a heterotroph because it relies on consuming other organisms, such as ants and termites, for energy and nutrients. Autotrophs, on the other hand, can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis.
