### Understanding HeterotrophsHeterotrophs are organisms that do not produce their own food and rely on other sources of carbon, usually organic compounds. Here is a question and multiple-choice answers related to heterotrophs:#### Question:Heterotrophs...1. a) do not require a carbon source.2. b) use organic compounds, like starch, as a carbon source.3. c) use carbon dioxide as their carbon source.4. d) require light for metabolic reactions.**Explanation:**- **Option a)**: This is incorrect. Heterotrophs do require a carbon source to carry out their metabolic processes.- **Option b)**: This is correct. Heterotrophs obtain their carbon by consuming organic compounds, such as starch.- **Option c)**: This is incorrect. Autotrophs, such as plants, typically use carbon dioxide as their carbon source, not heterotrophs.- **Option d)**: This is incorrect. While some heterotrophs may rely on light indirectly by consuming organisms that use light, they themselves do not require light for their metabolic reactions.In this question, the correct answer is **b) use organic compounds, like starch, as a carbon source**. ### Additional Information:Heterotrophs play a vital role in ecosystems by acting as consumers. They ingest and break down organic materials, which contributes to nutrient cycling and energy flow within ecosystems.

Organisms can be classified based on their type of nutrition. The heterotroph are organisms that…
