Both!

Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.

Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.

What is differnce between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?

Autotrophs make their own food using chlorophyll, (sunlight energy) whereas; hetrotrophs don't. Hetrotrophs feed off other living things. e.g. -a plant absorbs sunlight to grow, release and store (so the plant is an autotroph) -a cow then eats the plant and the energy is transferred (so the cow is a hetrotroph) - a human then eats the cow and the energy is, once again, transferred (so the human is a hetrotroph) - the energy is then lost as heat
