Question

consumers, or heterotrophs. the greek prefix hetero - means \different.\ this means that a heterotroph cannot produce energy on its own. instead, heterotrophs consume other organisms - plants and animals - for energy. which term matches the picture? heterotroph autotroph

Explanation:

The text defines a heterotroph as an organism that cannot produce its own energy and instead consumes other organisms (plants and animals) for energy. A polar bear (the animal in the picture) is a carnivore (it eats other animals like seals) and thus fits the definition of a heterotroph. An autotroph, on the other hand, can produce its own energy (e.g., plants through photosynthesis).

Answer:

heterotroph
