Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s an ingestive heterotroph (i.e., it eats other living things to obtain energy) It stores energy long term as fat; short term as glycogen ("animal starch") It reproduces sexually (though a few can reproduce asexually).

Detailed explanation-2: -Heterotrophs cannot make their own food, so they must eat or absorb it. For this reason, heterotrophs are also known as consumers. Consumers include all animals and fungi and many protists and bacteria. They may consume autotrophs or other heterotrophs or organic molecules from other organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria, fungi, yeast, cows, dogs, humans are all heterotrophs. They all depend on plants and other animals for their food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Basic ideas-Heterotrophic nutrition Heterotrophs include herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers-everything that is not autotrophic. Hetreotrophic nutrition is the consumption and breakdown of complex molecules made by some other living organism. Thus, all animals, all fungi and many bacteria are heterotrophs.
