plants have the ability to make their own food.they are autotrophs. they use sunlight and chlorophyll to give energy . they also intake minerals, and water ffrom the soil through their roots.

animals are heterotrophs because they depend on the autotrophs or on other heterotrophs for their food or nutrition.
