If your professor desires you to make a phylogenetic tree of orchids and she provides you tissue from seven orchid species and one lily, then the most likely reason why she gave you the lily is for it to serve as an outgroup.

To add, in cladistics or phylogenetics<span>, an outgroup is a group of organisms that serve as a reference group when determining the </span>evolutionary<span> relationship among three or more monophyletic groups of organisms.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The osprey card and its description should be placed in the heterotrophs group.

Explanation:

Organisms that can synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn it into food according to their own needs are <u>producers</u>, and they are called a<u>utotrophic organisms</u>. These organisms are by excellence all <u>plants</u>, that <u>photosynthesize</u>.  Organisms that are incapable of producing their food are called <u>heterotrophic organisms</u>. They <em>depend on other organisms</em> from the trophic chain such as plants or other animals to feed on, so they can get proteins and energy.

In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the <u>first, second or third consumer level</u>, after producers.

There are different types of heterotrophic animals: carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.
