The organisms that must get their glucose from other organisms are referred to as heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are unable to produce their own glucose through processes like photosynthesis, so they rely on consuming other organisms to obtain glucose for energy. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options:
1. Autotrophs: Autotrophs can produce their own glucose through photosynthesis or other similar processes, so they are not dependent on other organisms for glucose.
2. Plants: Plants are a type of autotroph, not heterotroph. They can produce their own glucose through photosynthesis.
3. Chemosynthesizers: Chemosynthesizers are also autotrophs that can produce glucose using inorganic substances and chemical energy, not heterotrophs.
By the process of elimination, the correct answer is heterotrophs.
