Explanation:

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms for energy. Carnivores are animals that eat other animals, which fits the definition of a heterotroph. Chemotrophs are organisms that obtain energy from chemical compounds, and producers (like plants) can make their own food through photosynthesis, so they are not heterotrophs.
