Answer;

Both use energy sources to create ATP

Explanation;

  • 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.
