The picture reveals pigeons near my home that are eating rice. This is a photo that reveals heterotrophs because the pigeons depend on the rice for energy and food. A heterotroph is an organism that can not synthesize its own food or nutrition, it gains it by consuming organic substances. The bird in the photo is consuming the rice in order to gain energy and nutrition, thus revealing it can not synthesize its own food. Organisms that can create their own food and energy are known as autotrophs. However, this is a picture of a heterotroph that is getting its energy by consuming rice, not by creating it.
