Explanation:
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: -You might call a venus flytrap a ‘mixotroph’. Autotrophs make their own food (like most plants); heterotrophs get food from elsewhere (like animals, which eat other organisms), and mixotrophs can do both.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four different types of heterotrophs which include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and decomposers.
