Question
read the text.
organisms that can make their own energy from nonliving resources, such as the sun, are known as producers, or autotrophs. the greek prefix auto- means \self,\ and the suffix troph means
ourishment.\ thus, an autotroph can produce its own nourishment, as when a plant uses photosynthesis to obtain energy from the sun.
organisms that eat living or once-living things to obtain their energy are known as 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?
