Autotrophs produce their own food/energy from sunlight. (or some called chemotrophs can get it from heat and chemicals such as certain organisms in deep sea heat vents)

Heterotrophs must get food/energy from other heterotrophs or autotrophs. (Cellular respiration)

So, a cell capable of photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis is autotrophic... all others are heterotrophic.
