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

Are animals autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
animals are heterotrophs because they can't make their own food
Is protista autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
Both!Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.
Why don't heterotrophs have chloroplast?
Chloroplasts are for autotrophs. Hetrotrophs get C from others.chloroplasts capture light energy.Heterotrophs get energy from chemicals mainly
What is the difference between autotrophs and hetrotrophs?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using energy from sunlight or inorganic chemicals. Heterotrophs, on the other hand, rely on consuming other organisms to obtain energy. This is the main difference between the two, with autotrophs being able to sustain themselves independently while heterotrophs require outside sources of energy.

Are cows autotrophs or hetrotrophs?
Cattle are heterotrophs, they cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organic matter for nutrition. While autotrophs are able to synthesize its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy.
What do bacteria feed on?
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
