Animals, fungi, and many bacteria are heterotrophs.

动物、真菌和许多细菌都是异养的。

The autotrophs transform it into usable energy, which is consumed by the heterotrophs.

自养生物将其转化为可用的能量，这些能量被异养生物消耗。

And, actually, some parasitic plants are heterotrophs as well.

实际上，一些寄生植物也是异养的。

We call these heterotrophs and they... eat.

我们称这些为异养生物，它们… … 吃东西。

Many of the organisms that live in this put in these pools have to eat so those are called heterotrophs.

许多生活在这个水塘里的有机体必须进食，所以它们被称为异养生物。

Generally speaking, animals are what are called heterotrophs, meaning they can't produce their own food — they're consumers of other life.

一般来说，动物是“异养生物”，意味着它不能自己生产食物，而是其他生命体的“消费者”。

Life forms are divided into two camps: autotrophs, like plants, that generate their own energy, and heterotrophs, like animals, that consume other organisms for energy.

自养，如植物，产生自己的能量，和异养，像动物，消耗其他生物的能量。

OK, so all other living things in an ecosystem that aren't autotrophs are heterotrophs, or consumers — these are the walls, windows, and roofs that rely on the foundation of autotrophs.

好了，那么生态系统中所有其他不是自养生物的生物都是异养生物，或消费者——这些是依靠自养生物基础的墙壁，窗户和屋顶。
