Here's a breakdown:
* Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food (like plants do through photosynthesis).
* They must consume other organisms (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria) to obtain the energy and nutrients they need to survive.
Examples of heterotrophs include:
* Animals: Lions, birds, fish, insects, etc.
* Fungi: Mushrooms, yeasts, molds
* Bacteria: Many types of bacteria are heterotrophic.
