Answer 2

Almost all animals are heterotrophs. Very few are autotrophs, and they usually not studied.

So, for all practical purposes (unless you're in a college-level Biology class), all animals are heterotrophs.

Answer 3

No, vertebrates are not autotrophs, they are heterotrophs. They cannot make their own food from light, nor can they use carbon dioxide. Because vertebrates have to obtain their food and produce carbon dioxide, they are known as heterotrophs.

Answer 4

No, Animalia consists of heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Autotrophs, on the other hand, are able to produce their own energy through processes like photosynthesis.

Answer 5

no because all animals rely on either plant or other animals for food

Answer 6

Animalia is one of 6 kningdoms of living things. I don't know what an autotroph is, though, so try asking a different question. I hope I could help you.

Answer 7

No, autotrophic means that the organism can make its own food. As you know, animals cannot make their own food.

Answer 8

An animal cell is nt autrotrophic due to lack of chlorophyll which is present in plant cells

Answer 9

no
