Answer 1

Answer: Carlos is right

Step-by-step explanation:

(I had to look this up don't feel bad.)

A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophe for “nourishment.”Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophsand heterotrophs. Autotrophs are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. Dogs, birds, fish, and humans are all examples of heterotrophs.
