Answer
Organisms that make their food themselves are called Autotrophs.
Explanation
Autotrophs are the plants that have the ability to make their own food using sunlight, carbon-dioxide, water and other chemicals. They are also known as Producers (that make their own food using sunlight, the process by which they make their food is known as photosynthesis.)
They use carbon-dioxide and release oxygen in the environment. Example: plants.
There are two types of Autotrophs:
1. Photoautotrophs (use light energy to make food)
2. Chemoautotrophs (use chemical energy to make food)
On the other hand, Heterotrophs are the organisms that obtain their food directly and indirectly from Autotrophs. They are also known as Consumers.
They use oxygen and release carbon-dioxide in the environment. Example: Animals.
