Autotrophic nutrition- Green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to make carbohydrates using CO2 and water, They prepare their own food. They do not depend on anyone else. Heterotrophic nutrition- Heterozygous organisms are unable to prepare their own food, they depend on the food prepared by others. Heterotrophs depend on plants such as humans and fungi.

What is the difference between autotrophic nutrition and heterotrophic nutrition?
