Heterotroph: Ecology


This is a picture of my pet turtle, Carlisle. Here he is eating his daily meal: lettuce. Carlisle fortunately has a nice owner who feeds him everyday. This means that he depends on me to feed him and he is a heterotroph. As a heterotroph, Carlisle is a consumer that does not make his own food. In a natural environment, he would not be categorized with plants, whom produce their own food. He contributes to diversity in a population.
