What can an autotroph do that an heterotroph cannot?
An autotroph can make it's own energy. A heterotroph has to eat the autotroph to gain energy. To put it simple, an autotroph is a plant and it turns sunlight into energy in the form of glucose. A heterotroph is an animal and can't make it's own energy, so it eats the plant and the glucose, gaining energy from that.
