Answer:

An autotroph makes its own energy and a heterotroph gets its energy from eating other organisms.

Explanation:

Autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar. The glucose gives plants energy. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food so they must eat or absorb.
