Heterotrophs, on the other hand, do not have the necessary cell components to make their own food and must therefore consume other organisms for energy. All animals, including humans, are heterotrophs, as are fungi, some bacteria and other microorganisms. Heterotrophs are also known as consumers....
What organisms can make their own food? What are organisms that eat other organisms called? What are tertiary consumers in a grassland biome? What is the third consumer in a food chain called? What are decomposers and are they food consumers?
Detritivores are organisms that eat wastes and dead bodies. They include some insects and crustaceans, earthworms, centipedes, and vultures. Decomposers are fungi and bacteria that secrete enzymes outside their bodies, where they digest the wastes and dead bodies of other organisms. The decomposers ...
