Answer:

Autotrophs can make there own food but heterotrophs are dependent on other organisms for getting food.

Explanation:

Autotrophs are the organism that is capable of synthesizing their own food for example plants which makes their food by using sun energy by the process of photosynthesis.

Heterotrophs are the organisms that are not able to make their food on their own and are dependent on others for getting nutrition for example animals.

Autotrophs are primary producers and heterotrophs are dependent on primary producers directly or indirectly to get nutrition.
