Question

Animals that eat other animals are

Producers

Autotrophs

Heterotrophs

Prey

Answer 1

Animals that eat other animals are classified as **Heterotrophs**. Heterotrophs obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms, which can include plants and other animals.

- **Producers** are organisms that create their own food, typically through photosynthesis (e.g., plants).
- **Autotrophs** are similar to producers; they can produce their own food from inorganic substances.
- **Prey** refers specifically to animals that are hunted and eaten by predators, rather than a classification of how they obtain energy.

So the correct answer is **Heterotrophs**.
