Decomposers get their energy from absorbing food from dead organisms. Thanks for a great question! From Andres914. They get energy from dead animals or plants they find on earth. They are a lot like scavengers. From fattyboy8
Heterotrophic organisms take in energy in the form of?
Food.
Does a lion obtain energy directly from the sun or indirectly?
All animals, including lions, obtain their energy from the sun indirectly.
Were does a vulter obtain its energy?
A vulture, like all animals gets its energy from the food it eats. Vultures largely eat carrion.
What type of energy are you taking in when you eat fruits and vegetables?
Food energy is chemical energy. Organisms break down food to extract the things that they need to stay healthy, and it's a chain of biochemical reactions that powers the organism.
What are the organisms that obtain energy from food?
Consumers
What are heterotrophs and where do they get their energy?
Heterotrophs are organisms that consume food in order to obtain energy. These organisms get their energy by consuming organic molecules.
What do you call organisms that must obtain energy from food?
They are called consumers.
What are organisms that obtain energy from the food they eat are called?
Heterotrophs or consumers.
What do organisms obtain in food for energy?
Organisms form ATP from food. ATP is called the "energy currency" of the cell. ATP is like a battery, it runs all the cell's functions.

What is evidence for what role does the sun play in how animals obtain their energy?

What do you call organisms that obtain food for energy?
The most general answer is a consumer, which is then divided into carnivores (which eat other animals), herbivores (which eat plants) and detrivores (which eat non-living organic material).
How do scientists use source of energy to classify organisms into their kingdoms?
Scientists classify organisms into different kingdoms based on their source of energy through their mode of nutrition. Organisms that obtain energy from the sun through photosynthesis belong to the kingdom Plantae, while those that obtain energy from consuming other organisms belong to the kingdom Animalia. Organisms that obtain energy from breaking down organic matter or inorganic compounds belong to the kingdom Fungi or Kingdom Protista, depending on other characteristics.
