Question

a lion primarily eats other animals for energy. what kind of organism does this make the lion? chemotroph heterotroph autotroph

Explanation:

To determine the type of organism a lion is, we analyze the options:

• A chemotroph obtains energy from chemical reactions (e.g., some bacteria), not relevant here.
• An autotroph produces its own food (e.g., plants via photosynthesis), but lions eat other organisms, so not autotroph.
• A heterotroph cannot make its own food and relies on consuming other organisms for energy. Since lions eat other animals, they are heterotrophs.

Answer:

B. heterotroph
