An anteater is a heterotroph because it relies on consuming other organisms, such as ants and termites, for energy and nutrients. Autotrophs, on the other hand, can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis.

They eat plants and animals
Milkweed like most plants gets its energy from the sun.
It gets it from a waterhole or pond.
Algae IS a plant. It gets energy from the sun, not other plants.
All plants receive their energy through photosynthesis.
Plants get energy from the sun and from decomposed material.
An omivore
A zebra is heterotroph because it gets energy from other plants, so therefore it gets its energy indirectly from the sun.
Energy from the sun in EM radiation (visible light)
An animal that does not eat plants and gets energy from others is a carnivore. Carnivores primarily consume other animals for their source of energy and nutrients. They are usually at a higher trophic level in the food chain compared to herbivores.
