Answer: All organisms need energy. ...

Autotrophs (producers) use energy directly from the sun or from chemicals to produce organic molecules. ...

Heterotrophs (consumers) obtain energy by consuming other organisms. ...

The flow of energy in an ecosystem can be represented with a food chain or food web

Step-by-step explanation: A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophe for “nourishment.” Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs. A consumer is an organism that eats other organisms or organic matter instead of producing its own nutrients or obtaining nutrients from inorganic sources. Consumers are also called heterotrophs, or other-feeders Producers

Producers: Producers are organisms that get their energy directly from the Sun. Their cells are able to turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis. Organisms, such as humans, take in "substrates" such as glucose, in our food. During a process called respiration, we react 4these substrates with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water; this takes place in the mitochondria of our cells.
