Question

producer : Autotroph :: predator :
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Autotrophs are classified as either photoautotrophs (which get energy from the sun, like plants) or chemoautotrophs (which get energy from chemical bonds, like certain bacteria). Consumers are typically viewed as predatory animals such as meat-eaters. However, herbivorous animals and parasitic fungi are also consumers.

Answer 2

Concept Introduction:

An organism is referred to be a heterotroph if it is unable to manufacture food on its own and must obtain it from other forms of organic carbon, primarily plant or animal materials. Heterotrophs are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in the food chain but not producers.

Explanation:

We have been given a question about feeding behavior.

We have to fill in the blank.

A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophy for “nourishment.” Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based on how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Final Answer:

The final answer is autotroph.
