Question

All animals mostly fall in the category of _________________.

• A. Heterotrophs
• B. Autotrophs
• C. Decomposers
• D. Primary consumers

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Heterotrophs

Heterotrophs are animals that depend directly or indirectly on autotrophs. They are categorized into consumers (primary, secondary and tertiary), detrivores and decomposers.

Autotrophs are the green plants or producers that convert light energy into chemical energy and prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis.

Hence, all animals mostly fall in the category of heterotrophs.

So, the correct answer is 'Heterotrophs'.
