Heterotrophs (which means nourished by others), also called consumers, are organisms that consume other organisms. Heterotrophs include animals, protists, and bacteria, or fungi. Animals that eat plants, such as deer and caterpillars, are called herbivores. Animals that eat other animals, such as mountain lions and wasps, are called carnivores. Decomposers are heterotrophs that feed from the carcasses of dead animals or dead plants. If they are animals, such as millipedes, lobsters, starfish, clams, and catfish, scientists sometimes call them scavengers.
Transfer of Energy Consumers cannot make their own food. Instead they obtain energy by eating producers and other consumers. The energy stored in the molecules of one organism is transferred to another organism when one organism consumes another. At the same time, the matter that makes up those molecules is transferred from one organism to another. Each step in the series of organisms eating other organisms is called a trophic level . Food Chains and Food Webs A food chain is a way of showing how matter and energy pass from one organism to another.
