Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using energy from the sun or inorganic substances. Daisies, roses and grass are all examples of autotrophs because they undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food. Ants, termites and butterflies are heterotrophs that must consume other organisms for energy. Wolves, coyotes and foxes are also heterotrophs that are carnivorous. Rabbits, moles and robins are herbivores and also heterotrophs. Mushrooms and fungi are not autotrophs because they obtain nutrients from other organisms, dead or alive.
