Answer 7

@cudiandvans

Take a look at the picture of the food web.

You see that there's one arrow,
going FROM the BANANA TREE
TO the BAT?

That means that the BANANAS are eaten by the BAT.

The energy from the bananas goes to the bat.
That's why there's an arrow from the bananas, to the bat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Heterotrophs" are organisms that can't make their own food, like plants can.

Because of this, they need to get energy, by eating other things.

All animals are heterotrophs, including bats.

And the banana tree (which the bat eats) is a PRODUCER.
A plant.
