________ depend on energy stored in chemical bonds by autotrophs for their food energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heterotrophs obtain their food energy by consuming other organisms, which in turn depend on energy stored in chemical bonds by autotrophs. Autotrophs produce their own food energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Oligotrophs are organisms that thrive in low-nutrient environments, and chemotrophs obtain their energy from chemical reactions rather than sunlight. None of these choices describe organisms that depend on energy stored in chemical bonds by autotrophs for their food energy except for heterotrophs.
