Cypris is a heterotroph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cypris are the members of kingdom Animalia which are multicellular crustaceans. These organisms are both marine and fresh water, but most of them are fresh water pond dwellers. They are microscopic, which needs to be seen through microscope at 40x for proper visualization.
Cypris are heterotrophs which live in the debris below the water bodies and collect their food from them only. They are covered by 2 shells, and a pair of antennae and limbs project out of the body. They are easily eaten by hydra and small fishes as delicious food.
