Consumers.
Explanation: Heterotrophs obtain organic carbon by eating other organisms, which describes consumers (animals, fungi, many bacteria/protists). Photosynthesizers and producers make their own food (autotrophs). (Note: a few exceptions exist — some plants are parasitic or mycoheterotrophic and obtain nutrients from others — but generally plants are autotrophs.)
