Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heterotrophs are organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter because they cannot produce their own food. Most bacteria and dogs fit this description, as most bacteria consume organic matter for energy, and dogs eat other organisms. Plants, on the other hand, are autotrophs because they produce their own food through photosynthesis. Hydrogen bacteria are a type of autotrophic bacteria that oxidize hydrogen gas to obtain energy.
