Question

as humans, we require energy to build molecules, transport materials, and contract our muscles. which of the following explains how we obtain energy? (1 point) \bigcirc autotrophs consume plants or animals to obtain energy. \bigcirc heterotrophs consume plants or animals to obtain energy. \bigcirc autotrophs produce their own food and store chemical energy. \bigcirc heterotrophs produce their own food and store chemical energy.

Explanation:

1. Humans are heterotrophs (organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms).
2. Autotrophs (like plants) produce their own food, so options about autotrophs consuming or humans (heterotrophs) producing food are incorrect.
3. Thus, the correct explanation is that heterotrophs (humans) consume plants or animals to obtain energy.

Answer:

B. Heterotrophs consume plants or animals to obtain energy.
