Heterotroph

 A heterotroph is an organism that is not self sufficient. In other words, it is not like a plant, where it can create its own food and survive on its own. They are unable to synthesize, therefore they depend on other organic matter created by other organisms. Examples of a heterotroph could be a dog, an elephant, humans, lions, and many others. The drawing below is another example of a heterotroph, which is a south african oryx. This animal is a herbivore, which means it needs organisms such as grass and other vegitation to survive.
