Answer:
Heterotrophs stores food in the form of Glycogen and Autotrophs stores food in the form of starch. Glycogen is actually analogous to Starch. Hoped I helped you in some way.
Explanation:
Reason - Animals use Glycogen which is starch but highly branched, because glucose can only be liberated at the ends of the branches (non reducing ends) which means many glucose molecules can be liberated simultaneously from a branched polymer but only one at a time from a linear polymer. Animals are more likely to use glucose in a hurry so they store food in Glycogen
