What do heterotrophic organisms depend on?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Food made by other organisms
Heterotrophic organisms cannot synthesise their own food from simple inorganic substances in the way autotrophic green plants do. They obtain ready-made organic food from plants, animals, fungi, or other organisms, either directly or indirectly. Therefore option A is correct. Sunlight may provide energy for plants, but it is not food for heterotrophs; soil and stones alone cannot nourish them.
