Answer 1

The best term that describes consumers that feed on other organisms, including plants and animals, for energy is heterotrophs.

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and instead rely on consuming other living things, which can include both plants (herbivores) and animals (carnivores or omnivores).
