  • Heterotrophs: Organisms That Obtain Energy from Food
    Organisms that must get their energy from food sources are called heterotrophs.

    Here's why:

    * Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis (like plants do).

    * They rely on consuming other organisms (plants, animals, fungi, etc.) to obtain the energy and nutrients they need to survive.

    * Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and most bacteria.

    Let me know if you have any other questions about organisms!
