Auto-self

Hetero-another

Troph-feeder

Therefor, the auto + the troph makes it something that produces it's own food, or self feeding. The Hetero + the troph makes it one who feeds of of others. The "troph" relates both to feeding, while the "hetero" and "auto" make them different. Hope this helps.
