An organism that must obtain its carbon in an organic form is called a heterotroph. These organisms, which include animals, fungi, and most bacteria, obtain their carbon by consuming other organisms or their by-products. This is in contrast to autotrophs, like plants and algae, which can convert inorganic carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) into organic compounds using energy from the sun or other sources.
