Heterotroph




A heterotroph is an organism that uses "organic carbon" for growth. Basically, it eats other things to make its own food. Unlike autotrophs that make their own food, heterotrophs rely on outside factors. The photo is a picture of a resting chimpanzee and an active squirrel monkey. This chimpanzee and monkey are heterotrophs since they are omnivores.
