heterotrophs and autotrophs depend on each when heterotrophs obtain food by decomposing other organisms. To live, all organisms, including plants, must release the energy in sugars and other compounds.

Autotrophs can create their own nutrients from photosynthesis but heterotrophs rely on nutrients from eating other organisms.

Heterotrophs in turn return nutrients to the soil through excretement or decomposition.

How do heterotrophs depends on the autotrophs?
A heterotroph is an organism that cannot synthesize its own food where as autotrophs can synthesize their own food. So heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for food. For example a cow (heterotroph) eats grass (autotroph).

Organisms that obtain energy by taking in food are called?
heterotrophs
How are autotrophs and heterotrophs similar and different?
Autotrophs find their nutrients from inorganic sources, such as carbon dioxide and sunlight. Auto means self, and these organisms, which include such things as plants, make their own food in some sense. Heterotrophs eat other organisms, living or dead. You and I are heterotrophs. "Hetero" means "other", so we depend on other organisms to make their own food, and then we eat them. Both autotrophs and heterotrophs share other characteristics of living organisms, like the ability to reproduce and grow.

What do autotrophs make that heterotrophs need?
Autotrophs don't necessarily "make" anything that heterotrophs need. The word autotroph means that the organism produces its own source of food. Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs as an essential source of food and nutrients (nitrogen, etc.).
