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.

Is the Venus Flytrap a heterotroph?
no. it still does photosynthesis to provide its own energy which is the very definition of an autotroph. it catches insects to provide nitrogen which most plants find in the soil and not as a sourse of energy like a heterotroph. of course you could argue that this is some form of heterotrophy but that is a philosophical debate on definitions.
