What is heterotropic

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter. In the food chain, heterotrophs are primary, secondary and tertiary consumers, but not producers.

Heterotrophic nutrition is the mode of nutrition in which an organism depends on other living organisms for food.

Depending on the type of food, heterotrophs can be divided into 3 types-

Carnivores- organisms which eat only animals. Example- lion, snake.
Herbivores- organisms which eat only plants. Example- rabbit, elephant.

Omnivores- organisms which eat both plants and animals. Example- crow, dog.
