<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Both use energy sources to create ATP
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Autotrophs and heterotrophs must use energy in the form of ATP to synthesize organic compounds.
- Autotrophs and heterotrophs are both living organisms that require some form of food to get energy.
- However, autotrophs make their own food via photosynthesis or some other similar method. Heterotrophs get their food by eating autotrophs or other heterotrophs.
