Answer: A.  Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.

Explanation: A deer is a heterotroph and a plant is a autotroph. Examples of heterotrophs are animals and humans, and examples of autotrophs would be plants and algae. Therefore, because a deer consumes plants that means that autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs. And by the way I did the exam myself and got this answer correct!

Food web is defined as the interaction of autotrophs and heterotrophs to obtain resources like food, shelter, and light.

Relationship of Autotrophs and Heterotrophs in a Food Web

  • The plants or some algae are the autotrophs of ecosystems. The organisms prepare food in the presence of light and yield grasses and energy.

  • The heterotrophs are the organisms in a food web, which feed on the autotrophs to obtain energy and food.

  • The ecological niche of organisms in a food chain categorizes them as primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers.

Thus, the deers are the primary consumers feeding directly on plants, also known as autotrophs.
