What are autotrophs - impalas plants mushrooms leopards?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, such as plants and some types of bacteria. Impalas and leopards are heterotrophs that rely on consuming other organisms for energy. Mushrooms are decomposers that break down organic matter for nutrients.
Why is a mushroom considered a heterotroph?
Heterotrophs are organisms who cannot produce their own organic food.Mushrooms are heterotrophs too, specifically they are termed as saprotrophs or saprophytes, that is they obtain their organic nutrient from dead decaying organisms.
Are mushrooms living on a tree stump parasites?
no they are decomposers
What is a heterotrophic mushroom?
Heterotrophic mushrooms are mushrooms that are heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are organisms that acquire their food from the bodies of other organisms. Anything that eats anything else is a heterotroph. Heterotrophic mushrooms digest decomposing organisms such as dead trees. If a mushroom were not heterotrophic, it would create its own energy from an abiotic source, such as sunlight or chemicals. (e.g. Plants are autotrophs because they feed through photosynthesis.)
What are some decomposers on land?
fungi,mushrooms,and bacteria
What are the animals and fungi that depend on autotrophs for their food energy?
Animals like herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores rely on autotrophs for their food energy. Fungi, such as decomposers like mushrooms, also depend on autotrophs as a food source by breaking down organic matter produced by autotrophs.

Are mushrooms considered decomposers?
Yes it is
Are mushrooms heterotroph?
yes they are because organisms that cannot manufacture their own food like autotrophs
Are mushrooms autotrophic?
Mushrooms are not autotrophs. This is because they do not make their own food. They are actually heterotrophs because they decompose other plants in order to get their food.

Is a human a decomposers?
Humans are not considered decomposers; humans are considered consumers, as we kill and consume other organisms for nourishment. Contrarily, decomposers are organisms (such as mushrooms) that break down other organisms that have already deceased.
Can some body list the decomposers?
some decomposers are beetles mushrooms flies mushrooms and worms
Are mushrooms heterotroph or autotroph?
Autotrophs are able to sustain themselves without having to digest other organisms or substances from other organisms; they produce their own organic and inorganic materials. An example of an autotroph, would be a plant.Mushrooms are heterotrophs since they gain their organic material by living on compounds produced from living organisms. Mushrooms tend to be major decomposers in the world; an example of this can be seen with the legendary "fairy rings". Irish tales explain how these "fairy rings" are formed by fairies dancing in the moonlight, and after they are tired, they seat themselves upon the top of the toadstools. The mushrooms themselves, grow in a ring, and what is interesting about this story, is that the grass on the inside of the ring seems to be poor whilst the grass on the outside of the ring is lush.The explanation for this is regarding to how mushrooms are heterotrophs. They completely deplete the nutrients in the grass on the inside of the circle, as the grass cannot have the chance to obtain nutrients from other sources. However, the grass on the outside of the circle is gaining nutrients from the mushrooms to produce more of their own, so that, for a time, the grass on the outside of the ring benefits, until the mushrooms are close enough to start to absorb nutrients from that area more directly.
