Animals require energy to support the processes of life: movement, foraging, digestion, reproduction, growth, work. Organisms can be categorized into one of the following groups:
- autotroph - an organism that obtains energy from sunlight (in the case of green plants) or inorganic compounds (in the case of sulfur bacteria)
- heterotroph - an organism that use organic materials as a source of energy

Heterotrophs usually consume autotrophs?
As autotrophic animals are producing their food by themselves using light energy(solar energy) due to presence of pigments chlorophyll ,so they are independent while hetrotrophic animals doesn't have chlorophyll and obtain their nutrition from autotrophic or animals(they are dependent).therefore,
