Heterotrophy

Heterotrophy is the process of an organism that can not produce its own food and needs other nutrients (plants and animals) in order to live. As humans, our bodies are unable to make food on its own, so we go through the heterotrophy process. An example of this would be an apple and a human. As humans we eat apples because they are autotrophs. Which means they make their own nutrients, and since they make their own nutrients that means their perfect for us to consume.
