Why is photosynthesis beneficial for both autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Answers
By photosynthesis process, autotrophs make their own food. Heterotrophs are those who depend on other heterotrophs or autotrophs for their food.
Hope it helps uh.
Answer:
Autotrophs make their own food, most through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses the energy of the sun to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This process sustains plants and some other organisms, such as algae,etc.
Heterotrophs and Photosynthesis:-
In contrast to autotrophs, heterotrophs survive through respiration, using oxygen and an energy source to produce ATP, which powers cells. They depend on other organisms for food and oxygen. Photosynthesis benefits heterotrophs in several different ways. First, photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. Heterotrophs therefore depend on photosynthesis as a source of oxygen. In addition, photosynthesis sustains the organisms that heterotrophs consume in order to stay alive. Even if a heterotroph is strictly carnivorous and does not eat plants, it must eat animals that eat plants to survive
