Question

number correct 10 number incorrect 0 all animals and fungi must eat other organisms or their byproducts to get food. they are therefore called... a. heterotrophs b. autotrophs c. consumers d. both a and c

Explanation:

• Heterotrophs: Organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms or their byproducts. Animals and fungi fit this description.
• Autotrophs: Organisms that can produce their own food (e.g., plants via photosynthesis). This does not apply to animals and fungi.
• Consumers: A term in an ecological context that refers to organisms that eat other organisms. Animals and fungi are consumers.

Since both "Heterotrophs" (A) and "Consumers" (C) are correct terms for animals and fungi (as they cannot make their own food and eat other organisms), the answer is D.

Answer:

D. Both A and C
