Question

what is a heterotroph?
an organism that can create its own energy
requires sunlight to produce energy
an organism that must ingest food for energy
all plants

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A heterotroph is defined as an organism that cannot produce its own food and must obtain energy by consuming other organisms. This is in contrast to autotrophs, which can create their own energy (e.g., through photosynthesis in plants). The option "Requires sunlight to produce energy" describes autotrophs (like plants using photosynthesis), not heterotrophs. And "All plants" is incorrect as not all plants are heterotrophs (most are autotrophs).

Answer:

An organism that must ingest food for energy.
