Both!
Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.
Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.
the similarities are they both are in biology
Autotrophs produce their own "food" in photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs eat other organisms for nutritions.
Protista
Chloroplasts are for autotrophs. Hetrotrophs get C from others.chloroplasts capture light energy.Heterotrophs get energy from chemicals mainly

they're autotrophs answered by nick4451bacteria are hetrotrophs not autotrophs. hetrotrophs are those that feed on ready made food and autotrophs are those that make their o food like plants. you can also defy them asSaprotrophs.answer by menard magorimbo
Autotrophs and Hetrotrophs.
Autotrophs produce their own "food" in photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs eat other organisms for nutritions.
animals are heterotrophs because they can't make their own food
The Kingdom Plantae only contains autotrophs.
Protista
Chloroplasts are for autotrophs. Hetrotrophs get C from others.chloroplasts capture light energy.Heterotrophs get energy from chemicals mainly
Protista
Some protista are autotrophic, some heterotrophic. AUTOTROPHS These protista make their food through photosynthesis. HETEROTROPHS A) Feed on [bacteria] through their oral grooves or endocytosis.
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
The living part of ecosystem is the biotic component and is comprises of autotrophs or producers and hetrotrophs or consumer which are designated as t2, t3, t4
