Detailed explanation-1: -Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. Dogs, birds, fish, and humans are all examples of heterotrophs. Heterotrophs occupy the second and third levels in a food chain, a sequence of organisms that provide energy and nutrients for other organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heterotrophic nutrition is a mode of nutrition in which organisms depend upon other organisms for food to survive. They can’t make their own food like Green plants. Heterotrophic organisms have to take in all the organic substances they need to survive.
Detailed explanation-3: -The next trophic levels are made up of animals that eat producers. These organisms are called consumers. Consumers can be carnivores (animals that eat other animals) or omnivores (animals that eat both plants and animals).
