compare and contrast the different types of heterotrophs Use the terms Carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore in your discussion to get full credit.

(:Comparing:) Heterotrophs occupy the second and third levels in a food chain, a sequence of organisms that provide energy and nutrients for other organisms. ... Herbivores—organisms that eat plants—occupy the second level. Carnivores (organisms that eat meat) and omnivores (organisms that eat plants and meat) occupy the third level.

(:Contrasting:) Examples include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. Heterotrophs are known as consumers because they consume producers or other consumers. ... Herbivores—organisms that eat plants—occupy the second level. Carnivores (organisms that eat meat) and omnivores (organisms that eat plants and meat) occupy the third level.

Hope this helps.

Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on external sources for their foods. They are as opposed to autotrophs which have the capacity to produce their own foods via photosynthesis.

Heterotrophs are of 4 types mainly:

Carnivores: they feed on animals either by hunting and killing them (predators) or by feeding on carcasses (scavengers). Some feed on insects (insectivores)
Herbivores: they feed on herbs or plants generally
Omnivores: they eat both plants and animals
Detritivores: they eat dead or decaying plants or animals

Hence, apart from the fact that all heterotrophs depend on external sources for their foods, they differ based on the type of food they eat.
