Organisms that consume good synthesized by plants are called ________.

heterotrophic 

The correct answer is Option (2) – heterotrophic

- "Heterotrophic" are organisms that cannot produce their own food and, instead, obtain nutrients by consuming organic matter from other living organisms or their byproducts. Heterotrophic organisms are dependent on external sources for their energy and nourishment.

- In contrast, "autotrophic" organisms can produce their own food through photosynthesis (in plants) or chemosynthesis (in certain bacteria). Autotrophs convert sunlight or inorganic compounds into organic compounds, providing their own energy source.
