Question

what are heterotrophs??
Need at least 3 line answer.

Thank you to the user who answers my question.​

Answer 1

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot manufacture their own food by carbon fixation and therefore derives its intake of nutrition from the other source of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In food chain, heterotrophs are secondary and tertiary consumers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heterotrophic nutrition can be one of three types – holozoic, saprophytic or parasitic. Holozoic nutrition can be seen in most vertebrates and some unicellular organisms like the amoeba. Saprophytic nutrition is where the organisms feed on dead and decaying matter. Examples include bacteria and fungi.
